NY's Kathy Hochul signed legislation to legalize natural organic reduction, known as human composting, making NY the sixth state in the nation to allow that method of burial.

signed the legislation on Saturday. Washington was the first state to legalize human composting in 2019, followed by Colorado and Oregon in 2021 and Vermont and California in 2022.

It's the only productive thing some folks will do.

it doesn't matter how you go it end the same way!

They have a population problem. Covid happens. And now they're talking about this? Coincidences? They look at us like Lil workers that do good and make money until they get old and useless. I feel like we about to have years of life controlled. Once we hit 60 we get the jab

US military buys bodies to do ballistic testing,..sooo what's the issue!!

What's in it for the gazillion $$ funeral home industry scams? 'We'll chuck you in a hole or leave ya by the river; same price... $18,000.00'

Why not get some use from your remains? What's the objection? Turn cemeteries into gardens.

It’s the DemocRAT WAY of hiding aborted babies💩💩💩💩🥸

Stop making sh1t up.

Soilent green is people!!!!

This is not a good idea. If we are worried about the environment then consider this- it's not converting to EV that will make the biggest change, we need to stop cutting down the rain forest and other densely treed areas essential to weather and all life.

You don’t like it then don’t fucking doing it. I like the idea.

Fire it up!

How much earth has been taken over by graveyards? we are running out of space in cemeteries, plus people keep building new buildings yet many old ones sit empty taking up space and even new ones aren’t being fully occupied.

Nobody is forcing anyone to do this. Why the whining?

next, DNC will authorize the use of wood chippers, that way, you can use your grandma as a mulch. Liberals are sick.

MORAL DECAY? If you can abort, kill in the streets. Why would that would be a problem? The left only wants to fund what THEY want. Save money for THEIR causes ONLY… Having no faith or dangerously tepid will take you there= Oath means nothing. They lie and are not afraid of God.

Soylent Green...2022...

Well...... Soylent Green was people, sooooo, this is just the next step. Right?

Death and decaying bodies, and what biohazard they represent after life, the death and how populations can be effected severely or be put n harms way due to viruses and bacteria and germs and many other stuff, that happens when your rotting! Molds form, viruses form…..

It’s giving back, no ?

This debacle of how or should be, isn’t always so in that order or a order of a way! It’s a way of health at science and how to keep infectious diseases to infect a population and cause more deaths or health issues! Health and human science!

Continue to carry the banner of diversion, division, and derision at your own expense. Underestimate Biden's vision for a united America at your own peril.

Sure I can hear it now telling your spouse 'honey when I kick the bucket just have me chopped up and spread around the roses.'Ya just gotta hope a stray or even your own mutt doesn't decide to dig up a piece of leg or some other parts and make a small snack outta you.😱🙀😂😂😹😹

Soylent green is people.

I think that it's wrong for New York to use human bodies for composting! Thats ridiculous.🤔

You will be only ashes

MGM predicted this in the 60s but 1 step further , Soylent Green

Did I hear something about Soylent Green

It's a great way to dispose of GOP trash.

Are these wood chippers going to be electric? Bunch of sick “f”’s!!!!! This is what is top priority on their agenda? Wow!!!!

And

Closer to Soylent

Body burying and human composting very different, one is putting body in boxes in coffins the other is placing ashes in a pod to grow nature as we all become ashes at the end of life and (2) coffins are not recyclable

Solvent green

You're right. That's why nobody would put a body in their trashcan or the kitchen waste disposal. Other than that, what do you believe happens to a body in a cemetery different from a 'green burial'? Stop making up issues!

After taking a look at your comment section I'm pretty sure we're on the right track simply judging from the amount of riff Raff that you scared up and into a hate frenzy

Nothing different than what actually happens inside a casket. Except, the outrageous expenses of a traditional funeral and graveside service which is so unnecessary and self serving. Nobody ever wondered why the grass in a cemetery is so healthy?

House hold waste…aka Donald J Trump…

including aborted babies

This is just sick!

Soylent green soon

Idiots

Dems make the best compost. There is more of it .

Soylent green not far behind; solves the beef problem.

grossest thing I've ever heard. Human life is not sacred to the left.

We are good compost material since we are carbon based.

How about burying your ex-wife who's the mother of three of your children on a golf course green? cc: realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr IvankaTrump EricTrump MELANIATRUMP

Is any attempt at a culture war too stupid for you to try?

Human bodies are not fertilizer. We have centuries of treating dead bodies with respect in civilized cultures. I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God and I will not be called the equivalent of manure to fertilize a tree because earth worshipers think the tree is more worthy.

I plan to be ‘composted.’ It makes sense because it is less expensive and much greener. If it is not available in my state, my instructions are to send my body to a state where it is available. That will cost more but better than a casket or cremation. 😊

Propaganda much?

Well why not NY ships tankers to Texas

Well, they approve of children getting slaughtered in a woman’s womb, so is this surprising to anybody?

Progressives don’t care about humanity or thier twisted evil agenda

Grow food for the Elites? Soylent Green?

Fine, lets start with the Dems, maybe even hurry along the process. After they are all gone, get back to normal of having respectful burials. Dignity is everything.

Remember Solent Green?

RocketAngel01 Nyer...and no. I will not 'compost' my family.

Brando! It's got what plants crave. 'Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.'

I’m as far-right as you can get but I love this. No reason to waste money on a coffin or cremation.

Soylent green

I am an avid composter; both thermal and vermicompost, and I have zero problem with this. I always thought that if my body got put in my worm box you’d end up with a perfect skeleton-very cool

Way spend thousands on traditional funeral/burial?

One of the biggest problems on the planet is ego. The egoistical thought that you need to be embalmed for the ages. You consume resources for your entire life, when you die, you're supposed to give that back during decomp. Composting human remains is for for the planet.

Really not different than cremation. Leave it up to Fox to try and make this a political wedge issue. Shame.

Freedom.

What

I’m fine with that. Just bury me in the forest.

Why in the world would someone care what another person has done with their corpse? People need to mind their business times a million.

How does cost compare to traditional funeral? (Minus burial sight)?

Let it go. It should be my choice if I want to recycle my body as long as you can track them. The comment that 'bodies are not household waste' is very stupid.

lisachristinect jfc 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If that's what someone wants to do with their body after they die who cares 🤷🏻‍♀️ The first US law allowing this went into effect in 2020, why are you freaking out now

Count me in when I die, I could care less about organic matter in my body once I die

This is how Soylent Green gets implemented

I should to nail my old cantankerous bag of skin down to a canoe and send him down the river. It's a tribal thing. But I must let his wife do her thing. I guess she's better

Isn't this what 'we therefore commit this body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust' means?

lisachristinect SoylantGreen is coming

Uh, maybe someone thinks the bodies are going to start piling up? To the point where we’re going to have to bury them ourselves or else leave them to rot where they fell? wtf. 16 hours into 2023 and it’s already turning into an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

This is kind of crazy and kind of morbid. however, it should be a personal decision. How about going back to centuries ago. Simply being put in a wood box and nature slowly decomposes the body returning the body to the Earth.

Abortion

If you don’t want it for yourself, fine. I’d prefer this method. No embalming fluid, buried with a Ginkgo tree above my corpse to provide a beautiful blanket of golden leaves every fall. Why would this be a problem?

There is a difference between allow and mandate.

Foxoozes... The antiquated thoughts of a dying generation of religious freaks.

The government shouldn't be able to dictate what we do with our families, or our own, remains. Not everyone has to be onboard with the idea, just the people actually involved.

The tech isn't new. As long as it doesn't produce disease or damage the ground this should be an option as personal choice for end of life. This follows right with my belief in freedom and has no partisan issues for me.

the governor and nyc mayor should the first ones to show the public how this going to work...

So they are going to force us to be cannibals.

SIMILIAR TO CREAMATION

Keep the ashes of your beloved ones in a special place, like a columbarium, and pray for their souls. This is the proper thing to do.

No not me

I want to be left on a mountain side for the vultures, it’s probably the only way I can get into Congress.

Good

This is a hippie idea I can get behind! Dig a hole....dump a body...plant a tree on it.

In Washington state, the cost to compost is about $5,000. I think I'll stay with cremation, ash is also good for the soil.

It's not her State it's the people state.. Demonic Like this idea. Spending too much money on coffins & funerals is insane for what so funeral homes can make money off of mourning people. Cremation & this method is a better option, economically & financially not a burden to anyone. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..
