I would object to the killing to get the ingredients of course.
But once a person is dead, what is the body but a collection of organic 
matter no different then any other dead animal.

Which should we respect, the body of a dead person or the memory of a dead
person?  I know some of you would say both, but why put a lifeless hunk of cells
on the same level as the thoughts and emotions of the person that once occupied
it?

Also, ever heard of organ donation and giving your body to science?  Is this
disrespect for the dead body?

Ohh, I see you have heard of organ donation, pardon me.

psst Rich, get a good price for it (cash in advance).  You can will it to him.

Nope. As a matter of fact I think it would be a wonderful way to honor your
parents.  Use them to fertilize the tree under which they were engaged and
they then (in a way) become a part of what was a big part of their lives.
Sounds wonderful.  Good idea Ken.
