A man’s flesh is his own; the water belongs to the tribe

From Neil Bowdler at the BBC:

A Glasgow-based company has installed its first commercial "alkaline hydrolysis" unit at a Florida funeral home. The unit by Resomation Ltd is billed as a green alternative to cremation and works by dissolving the body in heated alkaline water. ...
