NH Considers Cremation Alternative That Dissolves Bodies To Liquid
http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/03/04/n ... to-liquid/
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — An alternative to cremation that was shot down a few years ago by New Hampshire’s House is making a comeback.

The House votes Wednesday whether to allow human bodies to be dissolved into a soapy liquid.

No idea. I've never watched a minute of it.

You have no idea what you've missed. It's worth a Netflix account just to watch the first season. You'll be hooked after the first episode or two. It's "addicting"!

I have a Netflix account, and my son has been watching it and thinks its a boss show. It's just that I deal with real life addiction issues in the real world in my ministry, and I have a hard time watching a show where the hero makes and sells that stuff.

Others' mileage may vary.

The Witness Protection Program hides Walter and changes his first name to Hal and this is coincidentally how Malcolm in the Middles starts

Well, suit yourself, but part of the magic is watching the "hero" degenerate to a villain. Where he was indeed a tragic-hero in the first seasons, attempting to overcome tragedy in order to provide for his family after his death, (although through non-traditional methods); over the seasons, he becomes anything but heroic. And loses all that is important to him in the process.

Anyway, it has been the most fascinating series I think I've ever watched. But I understand if it hits a little too close to home for you. Too bad.

Same here. I am fascinated by the whole good guy turns bad to even badder all for the sake of survival turned into greed. With a hint of a desire to catch up financially with a once partner turned billionaire. :hurry:

How is this any better than cremation? Everyone wants to be a "cleaner".
