APRIL 21, 2019
Charlton Heston’s character in the iconic 1973 movie “Soylent Green” famously didn’t take well to the news that the ubiquitous green food reflected in the film’s title was composed of human beings.
Now, Washington is poised to be the first American state to test public reaction to turning human beings into compost that could provide nutrients for various food products.
With bipartisan majorities, the state Senate and House of Representatives on Friday approve bill 5001, titled “concerning human remains,” the Seattle Times reported.
The law would take effect May 1 if it is signed by Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee, a candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
Wes McMahan, a retired cardiovascular intensive-care nurse, testified in favor of the bill, saying he is “very much in favor of the composting of human bodies.”
“When I’m done with this body that served me very well for the past 64 years, do I want to poison it with formaldehyde and other embalming chemicals? No,” McMahan said, according to the Times. “Burned? Not my first choice. But what about all the bacteria I’ve worked with so long in this body — do I want to give them a chance to do what they do naturally? I believe in doing things as naturally as possible.”

This just means burying people in cardboard/thin plywood coffins that are biodegradable. Nothing about eating humans or grinding up bodies and using them as fertilizer.

Great idea and I like how simply they named the bill. They could have named it something ridiculous with a convenient backronym scheme and dog-whistling to their base like how most bills are named, but they kept the name of this bill nice and respectful.

Does get a little strange.
"You believe that being injected with formaldehyde is "respectful" to the intentions of God?? Clearly you know nothing of God. You will be judged for being a judgmental hypocrite - who takes from the good Earth and of all living things and returns only a poisoned corpse in stow! In your arrogance you are too blind to see that you are the blight in God's garden. Jesus supports composting the dead. Everyone who died in that time was composted or mummified. You are just like the Pharaohs mummifying their remains in the arrogance that it makes them divine. Jesus would much rather prefer the compost bin thank you very much."
and
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.”
When the crowd took offense at his gruesome talk, Jesus exposed their unbelief: “The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe”
