If my family follows my wishes (which they won't, and I'm not gonna fight them, especially when I'm dead) they'd give me what's known as an Ecological Funeral, or Promession.

It's a process where you're cryofrozen, then you're put in a grinder and turned into sawdust. The sawdust is later buried and in a couple of months you're completely reintegrated into the environment.

That's the way to go.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Sounds more expensive than cremation.  Do you still have your bodily fluids drained & replaced with formaldehyde?  I heard that this process is required even if you are being cremated afterwards.  :crazy:

I'm donating my body to science, so hopefully they can cut some corners with the disposal of the leftovers.

The method behind ecological burial is crystal-clear, easy to grasp and accept. It is based on a new combination of tried-and-tested techniques that prepare the corpse for a natural process of decomposition. The procedure is justifiable in terms of ethical, moral, environmental and technical considerations, and does not subject the body to violent or destructive handling.

"The method is based upon preserving the body in a biological form after death, while avoiding harmful embalming fluid. Then it can be returned to the ecological cycle in a dignified manner as a valuable contribution to the living earth," explains Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak, biologist and head of operations at Promessa Organic AB.

An important part of the solution is to remove that which is least important; the water that makes up 70 percent of a normal-sized body. Technically speaking, this is done using an entirely closed individual process in which the corpse is freeze-dried in liquid nitrogen.

Within a week and a half after death, the corpse is frozen to minus 18 degrees Celsius and then submerged in liquid nitrogen. This makes the body very brittle, and vibration of a specific amplitude transforms it into an organic powder that is then introduced into a vacuum chamber where the water is evaporated away.

The now dry powder then passes through a metal separator where any surgical spare parts and mercury are removed. In a similar way, the powder can be disinfected if required. The remains are now ready to be laid in a coffin made of corn starch. There is no hurry with the burial itself. The organic powder, which is hygienic and odorless, does not decompose when kept dry. The burial takes place in a shallow grave in living soil that turns the coffin and its contents into compost in about 6-12 months time.

In conjunction with the burial and in accordance with the wishes of the deceased or next of kin, a bush or tree can be planted above the coffin. The compost formed can then be taken up by the plant, which can instill greater insight in and respect for the ecological cycle, of which every living thing is a part. The plant stands as a symbol of the person, and we understand where the body went.

"Our ecological burial reduces environmental impact on some of our most important resources; our water, air and soil," says Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak, biologist and head of Promessa Organic AB. "At the same time it provides us with deeper insights regarding the ecological cycle, and greater understanding of and respect for life on earth."

On second thought it sounds just yummy without the gravy.

The way I always explained it is that we are made of dust.  From dust we are, and to dust we will return.  Ashes to ashes and all that jazz.

So basically I'm a conglomeration of everything in my environment put together with a little bit of saliva or 'spirit' to stick it all together.  If we're using the archetype methodology, God just leans over and spits into the dirt to make me, nothing, into something.

What are we, anyway? :confused:  I don't think it really matters.

As Popeye says, I yam what I yam.

even more interesting is how this relates to capitalisticnomad's thread on suicide.  when one takes life, they are taking billions, not just one



That reminds me of a little thing I wrote that will one day (hopefully) go into a larger novel, where a girl shoots herself in the skull and as she goes she can hear each brain cell 'crying out' in agony.  At the end of that snippet it says, "Whoever said that suicide is instantaneous death is a fool.  And all men are fools."

Of course, I know that sounds incredibly morbid,:shocked: but there's way more to the whole story than just that. :whistling:
