I'm going to look into the survivability of viruses. I think you are right, that incineration will kill them dead too, but something stick's in my mind about the prions of madcow disease being able to withstand almost anything. I don't know if that extends to incineration or if the same can be said for some viruses. I'll update as soon as I find out for certain.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that the prions of Madcow disease aren't killed in autoclaving. Don't know about incineration though.
