Evidently the process by which Oscar Wilde's character Dorian Gray's friend Alan Campbell disposed of Basil Hallward's body is on its way to being used in California mortuaries. Why?

Wait a minute.....to be fair, I don't see anything Biblically wrong with this--our Lord is going to give Jan Huss a resurrection body even after being burned at the stake, of course--but the logic they're using to promote this is not exactly there. So using a bunch of energy (greenhouse emissions of course) for hydrolysis is OK, but using the same energy to bury or cremate someone is not?
My apologies, Ben, if I ruined part of the end of The Picture of Dorian Gray for you!
