Organic Reduction Discussed In State Congress

(Salt Lake City, UT) — Utah is considering being the newest state to allow natural organic reduction after death. The process consists of turning human remains into soil by mixing the remains with bacteria, like composting. Utah would potentially be the seventh state to legalize it with the Arizona legislature also considering a similar law. Proponents cite its environmental friendliness compared to cremation as a reason for it to go through, while those against it say there are other green options already available. The bill was tabled after questions arose around rules about where remains would be allowed to go and possible visitation rights on private property.
