In fact, if I had my druthers, (and I can't, since it's illegal), I'd rather have my body ran through a wood chipper and spread over the forest floor, so as to provide compost and return SOMETHING back to the earth. Seriously.
And if you're about to be turned into a small heap of ashes anyway, does it really matter if how many pieces you're in a few minutes before? I do understand that it would bother a lot of people, and I would totally respect their feelings. I'm just saying it wouldn't bother me. I would also never advocate it being forced on someone, either. Also, some religions (such as Orthodox Judiasm) would ban it, and I would respect that as well. Although, I think the religions that ban it would also ban cremation, as well. -- Vince Teachout Caracal Software www.caracal.net 518-733-9411 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
