Human composting

Human composting (called natural organic reduction in legal codes and regulations) is a process for the final disposition of human remains in which microbes and organic material convert a deceased body into compost. Developed in the early 21st century as an environmentally sustainable alternative to burial and cremation, human composting is legally sanctioned in several U.S states and Sweden. Human composting has prompted much debate around environmental impacts, legalization, and religious considerations.
