SALEM, Ore. (AP) - A bill before the Oregon Legislature would make it the second state to allow human composting as an alternative to traditional burial or cremation.

House bill 2574, sponsored by Reps. Pam Marsh and Brian L. Clem, would allow bodies to be disposed of by alternative processes, including natural organic reduction - an accelerated decomposition process that turns bodies into soil within weeks, KOIN reported.

It also clarifies rules surrounding alkaline hydrolysis, known as aqua cremation, and extends other funeral industry privileges and responsibilities to include natural organic reduction.

A public hearing for the bill was set for Monday afternoon in the House Committee on Business and Labor.

Almost 100 people had submitted written testimony as of Monday morning, overwhelmingly in support of the bill. Most cited environmental reasons for their desire to be composted. Cremation uses more energy than composting and traditional burial involves harsh chemicals and takes up land.

I’m not big on conspiracy theories but could this be the first step in legalizing mass graves for all the MAGA people they want to kill?🤔

They already have assisted suicide. What next: forcing Medicare to pay for it? Compulsory termination at 75?

A new implementation of the phrase, “Pushing up daisies.”

I’m expecting Oregon to make cannibalism legal soon. Why is it that the majority of West Coast States/Provinces are so insane? (FWIW, British Columbia is derisively known to some as British California.)

I just can’t picture myself heading down to Home Depot or Lowe’s when they have the human corpse sales in the spring.

The American death cult continues. Nothing makes the left happier than the macabre. From killing babies, to treating the body of the dead as just another piece of garbage.

Someone in the future, and maybe not too far will view America in this era the way people see nazi Germany today.

I am wondering when the trannys will set up swap meets. He cuts something off and gives it to her. She cuts off some stuff and gives it to him.

Tranny doctors stand by to sew stuff on.

IIRC, NC allows non-embalmed burial in wooden caskets at approved cemeteries which I think are few and far between.

In Oregon, when you ask for a menu they hand you a mirror.

One of the problems that the population control freaks have had is what to do with 6.5 billion human corpses. This is a solution for them. Now nothing need stand in the way of Agenda 21.
