    Human remains are not humans. I think we obsess way too much about what happens after a human dies, mostly due to historical reasons (i.e. it makes sense to be afraid of dead bodies or consider them sacred, because interacting with them could make you sick).

    If you make sure that the remains are not identifiable to anyone, why not use them for anything you like?

    If anything I am more annoyed that at some point they stopped bothering about only buying corpses of pigs which died from natural reasons, and started supporting the meat industry more directly by buying from the regular butchers/supermarket. Even then, I’m only very slightly annoyed.
