What was the ‘inspiration’ behind this concept?

Re CEMEX and blood patent:

Two thoughts:

There is a point in having blood and bone powder in the cement. It is a legal patent. But it also might mean that when rescue dogs search, any findings can be rejected due to the knowledge of the existence of blood and bone powder in it.

“Who knows where the bodies are buried?” Now takes on a different, and even more sorrowful, meaning.

This sounds very disturbing. As though o others ingrediaents could be found to obtain the same effect.

A little too close to the Matrix...

Why on earth would anyone even think about using blood and bone in cement unless they are trying to dispose of large quantities?

Very disturbing.
