It's been practiced by Tibetans and Mongols for centuries.
But with what population density? I'm imagining NYC or LA county looking very different, lol.
Probably not good for New York, but it doesn't spread disease where it's practiced, which was my point.
That's fair. Personally, I'm all for donate organs to save people -> body to science -> (cremation of remains ashes to family OR industrial/forest compost). It scales and solves problems.
Bodies for science usually ends up with the military buying the corpse and then testing out ordinance.
I'm not kidding.
You can specify the organization to receive your body, though some have prescreening.
Generally speaking, bodies donated to science don't end up being tested with ordinance. The consent waiver limits how the body can be used and is generally narrowed to medical research. One example where this didn't happen was here and the company founder was tried for fraud.
My suggestion for people is to find an organization that directly accepts donated bodies and go through their prescreening to bypass the body broker business.
NY could probably get away with dumping them down the sewers for the giant rats to eat.
Why don't we eat them or throw them in those huge car crushers and make a YouTube channel of it.
Tibetans and mongols don’t invest the same toxic chemicals and plastics Americans do, they also don’t need to bury a thousand people a day like America does
