Urban Death Project Aims To Rebuild Our Soil By Composting Corpses (inhabitat.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The Urban Death Project utilizes the process of composting to safely and gently turn our deceased into soil-building material, creating a meaningful, equitable and ecological urban alternative to existing options for the disposition of the dead," said Katrina Spade, a designer based in Seattle. "The project is a solution to the overcrowding of city cemeteries, a sustainable method of disposing of our dead, and a new ritual for laying our loved ones to rest."

This concept is ignorant to so many things, but just sticking to the topic of it being unsanitary is enough. Find a bunch of disease ridden corpses, let them decompose into "compost" -- go roll around in that for a little bit and see what happens. This idea reminds me of people who think using raw "humanure" for fertilizer is a good idea. More ecobabble going on here than actual science.

Especially since they are mostly full of shit to start with. Don't forget Obama and his minions, they can fertilize the back forty.
