Human composting, the process of converting human remains into nutrient-dense soil, has been legalized in New York, becoming the sixth state to allow the practice alongside Washington, Colorado, California, Oregon, and Vermont. The move has sparked outrage among religious groups, who argue that the process undermines the dignity of the deceased.
Despite the opposition from religious groups, it is likely that human composting will continue to be promoted by lawmakers out of a desire to address climate change.
