A controversial new method about how to dispose of deceased bodies has been under scrutiny and debate. The idea is getting rid of the dissolved remains of a dead body through the sewage system via flushing them down the toilet. Critics have had issues with this idea and have even been calling this very thought of it, "disturbing".

The way this idea works is that undertakers use certain chemicals that dissolve corpses. The process is called chemical hydrolysis. It is also a process used to dispose of diseased animals.

The dead body is placed into bag made of silk material. It is then placed into a metal cage frame and loaded into a machine called a Resomator. The machine is filled with a mixture of water and potassium hydroxide and set to 180C.

When this process is complete, the once intact body has turned into a small amount of green-brown liquid containing amino acids, peptides, sugars and salts. That is when the remains are disposed of by being flushed down the toilet.

Other options to dispose of the liquid are by giving the remains to family members or by being recycled back to the ecosystem.

This idea is being studied by European bureaucrats.

The method is controversial because it is dealing with human beings, albeit dead, but still human beings. The other side is that disposing of remains this way is much better for our ecological system.
