I agree with you. I just hope I die after my mother does. She'd never allow me to be buried green. She'd want me embalmed, stuffed, laminated, encased in amber and put inside a hardened steel coffin that would outlast an earth-wrenching alien attack. It's ridiculous.

What about hackers, software glitches, viruses and hardware failures? Humans would still be the initial creators and operators of this technology, right?
I hope Microsoft don't get that contract,
If something like this is ever developed, most likely only the very wealthy would have access to it. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

I just hope by the time I die it will be permitted by law here.. For the moment I think you HAVE to have coffin and have a place paid for you at the cemetary.. or be incinerated with that marble plate or something...
What about last wishes... Yeah, I love Graffiti Bridge movie, so what? ''Oooooooooooh Montreal, say it!''
If you can't be nice to someone on the net, you probably ain't worth much talking to in real life either. | |

I'm guessing green burials will be pretty widely accepted over the next several years. In the meantime, have you heard of biocremation? It's another green alterntive wherein your body is placed in a tank and buffeted with heat, pressure and highly alkaline water, which essentially speed the natural decomposition process to 2-3 hours. No use of odd chemicals; no coffin, wasting trees and taking up space in the ground; no release of carbon emissions by fire. Bones are then powderized and given to the family in an urn.
