...and given the Catholic Church's history their in no position to talk...Earlier this week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, signed into law a bill that will allow human composting, a “green burial” option that is slowly gaining recognition.
California is the fifth state to legalize the practice, following Colorado, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. Under the law, human composting will be allowed starting in 2027. The process involves placing human remains in a steel box with biodegradable materials, which help the body naturally decompose. That produces soil, which is given to family members, who may spread it or use it to grow plants.
Supporters of green burial options say that conventional burials put massive amounts of embalming fluid, steel and concrete into the ground. Cremations produce significant carbon emissions. Allowing bodies to decompose and return their nutrients to the organic cycle is a more appealing option for some environmentally conscious people.
“This new law will provide California’s 39 million residents with a meaningful funeral option that offers significant savings in carbon emissions, water and land usage over conventional burial or cremation,” Katrina Spade, chief executive officer of Recompose, a Seattle funeral home, told the Los Angeles Times.
Spade helped push for Washington state’s first-in-the-nation human composting law in 2019, and her company is the first funeral home in the country to offer the option.
Assemblymember Christina Garcia, the Democrat who sponsored the California bill, called it “an alternative method of final disposition that won’t contribute emissions into our atmosphere.”
The bill did face opposition from the California Catholic Conference, the Times reported. The group said human composting did not meet the “virtually universal norm of reverence and care towards the deceased,” turning bodies into a “disposable commodity.”
So fucking what?

Like I said, so what?So what? This is some sick dystopian shit and it’s just not needed.
Then the government should never give an opinion or make another law again.
So we keep putting them in boxes in the ground until we run out of ground, just to protect sensitivities? So long as they're properly disposed of, who cares how it's done? It's a shell, a vessel, the person is gone.So what? This is some sick dystopian shit and it’s just not needed.

You'd be surprised at how many conservatives are here. Some small towns in California have a church on every corner and trump flags on every house. The large liberal cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento) sway us into a blue state but in some towns here you would think you're in the bible belt.Democrat hellhole of California
