Whost else thinks cremation should be banned?

i plan to donate my abdominal organs, then have a natural burial, no embalming in a biodegradable cover to be fertilizer.

The original post is absurd.

His whole logic is 'cremation is gruesome to watch therefore it's satanic, therefore it should be banned'.

But if you took a time lapse movie of a body slowly decomposing in a grave it would be equally gruesome, and equally traumatizing to watch as a cremation. The only real difference between the two mortuary practices is the time rate at which the body gets dismantled. Either way the body gets dismantled. Ditto for organ donation. Any mortuary practice is gonna be gruesome to watch.

And the original post isnt even really about a philosophical question. Its really about the poster being psychologically scarred because some stupid grownup let him watch a video he shouldnt have seen when he was eight years old.

He needs to get treatment for ptsd, or whatever, and not waste his time pretending that his psychological issue is a philosophical issue.

Not me. I would like my body to be cremated.

If someone got hit by a train, would you rather watch his loose guts slowly rotting or the whole body immortalized by the power of fire?

Cremation releases tons of greenhouse gases and carcinogens into the atmosphere.

A buried body will decompose and return to the Earth, as living creatures naturally do.

Personally I think cremation should be illegal, not on religious grounds, but because it's environmentally irresponsible.
