It notes that opponents of the bill say it's disrespectful or goes against religious beliefs. The latter might very well be true, but doesn't a person have to choose to have this done to their body after death? Wouldn't someone who finds the concept offensive... just not choose it?

It's like trying to tell some people that if they don't like abortions or gay marriage, don't have one. Logical to you, immoral and abhorant to them.
There’s republicans getting in the way of freedom once again.
You're giving religious people way too much credit
Watch republicans cry about this.
I'm ok with this. I'm also really hoping to have a green burial, if my physical condition wouldn't endanger the environment (that is nothing that would contaminate the earth, groundwater table, or humans handling disposal. I doubt my few silver amalgam fillings would release as many contaminates as cremation). I'd be interested in knowing what beliefs argue against it and why, simply for my own understanding.
Not explicitly an argument against it, but I wonder if the plastic in humans at this point could be considered environmentally harmful. I suppose that if it's everywhere already, the decomposition of a body would add an insignificant amount more.
Sky Burials when?!?! This is cool though
Good job, fuckhead Murphy. I hope you're as restless as I am because NJTransit's still fucked. But at least my body can be thrown in a landfill. Great job.
