Read about this in my local paper a couple of weeks ago, Sharon.
Scary isn't it.

It is scary! Flushed down the loo!!! I only just read about it as my friend emailed me the story.
Hmmm...not sure about this, Sharon.....might put me off drinking the water no matter how often it's filtered......and there's only so much Guinness I can handle.... :-(

We'll have to stock up on bottled water!
My local council is right next door to Sanwell !.
Sandwell ^^^^^
Hope they use Seven Trent water company and not South Staffs.
I know that receiving a transplanted organ can give you some of the characteristics of the donor......just imagine some of the folk we'd be drinking...... :-(
Anyone a fan of recycling and reincarnation must be a fan.
sounds fine to me.
Maybe they could use the ashes to make roads or bricks or fuel. Burying bodies takes up a lot of room.
I'm liquefying as fast as I can.
I think it's a good idea in principle to liquefy bodies, but don't like the idea of it going into the water system. I think it would lead to a lot more purchasing of bottled water by the public, adding to the problem we've got now of too much plastic.

Why don't they pour the liquefied remains into the ground instead?

Cloverjo, a good answer. Why not, this sounds more like a better solution. Giving back to the earth so to speak.
Don't know whether I prefer the Biscuits ( Soylent Green Movie)
Not really a cremation though is it. Cremations involve combustion.
As far as liquefying goes, not a big issue, although it could seem like unseemly haste. But disposal of the resulting remains need a better solution. (No pun intended.)
no doubt there's a bottled water company looking for a new slogan for their 2018 campaign ... how about 'no human parts in our product?'


Not for me, thank you!
Sewage is treated using water and recycled as are bodies dumped at sea and Cremated so our water isn’t as pure as you’d think so this makes no difference.
You'd be surprised what goes in to the main drains - body fluids removed by undertakers during the embalming process and body fluids removed during cosmetic surgery are just two examples.
