Mankind certainly lost a lot in value ever since we became enlightened.  Not so long ago man was celebrated as the crown of creation.  Now it’s a question of whether it is better to burn bodies or to dump them into the sewer.  Consider….

Belgium’s plan to wash its dead down the drain: Bodies would be dissolved in caustic solution… and flushed into the sewer

It could hardly be said to be the most dignified of send-offs.

Undertakers in Belgium plan to eschew traditional burials and cremations and start dissolving corpses instead.

The move is intended to tackle a lack of burial space and environmental concerns as 573lbs of carbon dioxide are released by each cremated corpse….([1] Full Story)

Mind you, if the amount of CO2 saved is truly at the heart of it, would it not be better yet to prevent people from being born or at least to kill them off as soon as possible after having been born?  Sure it is.

The average human exhales about 2.2lb or 1kg of CO2 a day.  That means that a human exhales in about 260 days as much CO2 as will be produced by his cremation.  It follows, therefore, that Gaea would be much better off if we were not to let any human live for long and then to flush him down the sewer.

Is anything wrong with that reasoning?
