Unfortunately, here in the U.S.A. our political and corporate leaders are frequently too corrupt to run incineration power plants cleanly.

In some places even dead people get recycled, leaving only energy and ashes.

Better that than Soylent Green.

When I abandon my own body it will probably be too toxic for any food use, not even for the dogs in the animal shelter, or hungry polar bears.
