Talk:Disposal of human corpses

I simply do not understand what phenomenon it is that is referred to with the phrase "where parts of the body die". Are we talking about gangrene (not likely)? Or is it some euphemism for abortion (spontaneous and/or induced)? I'm fundamentally not getting it. Whoever wrote that piece (or who understands it) needs to clarify it. How can part of a body die?

message: The purpose of medical research is study, not disposal. Some small samples of tissue may be destroyed in analysis, or used in experiments, but afterwords the remains are disposed of some other way. Maybe this should be moved to special cases, something like "Medical institutions use donated human remains to train doctors and for research, after which the remains are usually cremated."

thread_title:  Is 'Medical Research' a disposal method? 

message: Human body is the duality of organised matter and electromagnetism which motivates matter. That which is buried in the grave or is cremated is the body made of matter. What happens to the body made of electromagnetism? (called by the ancient Egyptians – 'luminous and shining'). It is not enough to say that the electromagnetic organisation of the second body radiates into the external space. A photon is also an organisation of electromagnetism but it is not destroyed by radiation. KK (78.146.61.153 (talk) 19:44, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you are talking about ghosts or some other type of paranormal phenomenon? If not, the "electromagnetism" found in a body is the same as the electromagnetism found in anything else, in a chair or a banana for example. This is a property of matter, so the disposal of the matter of which a body is made also disposes of its electromagnetism. bd2412 T 19:50, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

message: As a consensus has been reached that the article Illegal disposal of bodies in the water be merged with this article I would request an admin to kindly complete this merge so as to delist the article from the merge list. Thanks and regards Wikishagnik (talk) 15:55, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge completion request 

message: I think these parts should be merged since they discuss basically the same phenomenon. Preferably sky burial should be viewed as a kind of burial by exposure Kuollut marsu (talk) 17:52, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

message: It would be great if someone had time and energy to create a sub-article for "human composting". Currently it redirects to here. I was alerted to this topic through a newspaper article (here). I think it's a WP:notable subject but I don't have time to set it up myself. EMsmile (talk) 11:15, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
