Your take? I think it's a beautiful concept to return to nature and the heavens.

Humans have to deal with it, and with the millions that pass every year, we can't all do burials. I thought the compost method was interesting but it'd be a huge stressor on any family to know I'm rotting in a pile of leaves for months.
I'll probably specify cremation and just be responsible and simple about it.

You know, we used to have a user here who constantly switched tripcodes. He disappeared right before you showed up.

The cats will take your eyeballs and crows aren't efficient at picking bones clean. Also kungfu guy at the park has evil to vanquish and you'll just be in the way.

My great uncle requested that in the will, but they just cremated him instead.

I really hope your burial is soon. Did you ever look into MAID?

Medical Assistance In Dying. It's euthanasia, basically.

So they have Doctors of Death whose job it is to heal you by killing you? Interesting...

First, do some harm.

In technology, they have this concept called Stack Overflow. When an integer reaches a certain amount, it flips over and goes right to the very opposite side.

So maybe these very intelligent Doctors of Death have the right idea. If you do enough overwhelming damage, maybe it will stack overflow and completely heal the patient back to perfect health.

*pushes up glasses* Actually, what you are describing is referred to as an integer overflow. A stack overflow refers to a scenario in which a program attempts to utilize more space than has been allocated to it in a section of memory called the stack, resulting in unexpected behavior.

Yes that's what I meant. So if these death doctors can rip and tear enough then it could easily integer overflow into good health.

Akshly, that's a buffer overflow. A stack overflow occurs specifically on the call stack, and happens when you've made one too many nested function calls (e.g. due to infinite recursion) so that there is no space left in memory allocated to the call stack to store associated variables and the return address etc.

Either way there's some kind of goddamn overflow happening if one tends the flesh and it heals the patient forever.

Well I think in extreme medical cases, like with a definitely fatal exposure to radiation, it's not harmful to let someone die faster

No doubt, not a ton of places to legally drop a corpse in the real world.

I don't think I'm quite there yet - I'd ride it out with pain meds and make nature finish the job like it's supposed to.

It's a good discussion though.
