Yes, it's sarcasm.
But it's capitalism, and somebody is already planning to make profits off of the panic.

(12,712 posts)I want to start a chain of luxury euthanasia parlors that offer several, creative, enjoyable and extravagant ways to go out in style. A celebration!
They would be decked out like palaces with several Liberation Packages to choose from: Psychedelic Farewell, Titanic Deluxe, Touch the Monolith, Virtual Sky Dream, etc. Uthanageless(tm) might be a good name.
I just need lots of funding and enough lobbyists to pass a Commercially Assisted Freedom Act.

(12,712 posts)I am not able to go into much detail on the exclusive and proprietary information regarding our clients remains, however, we do have some strong discount incentives planned in exchange for giving disposal consent to our company and yes, we have begun investigating protein rendering facilities in regards to recycling.
Another very lucrative market will be harvesting. It is a fact that there is a huge market for human bodies today. Estimates are that one unit, (body) has a total value in harvested resources of about $170,000. That is why our company represents a great value and offers the best promise for significant returns on your investment, now and in the future. Supply and demand are the issue here.
Our priorities will center on freewill liberation, increasing the supply of proteins and nutrients, as well as becoming a major broker and supplier of harvesting results.
If there are any professional body harvesters reading this, please contact me ASAP.

(8,445 posts)$170,000! Hook me up with that deal.
Edit: After reading the article I'm still on board with my family making a deal to part out my body, but it doesn't look like they'd get any more than free cremation. I dunno, though. Two of my sons are pretty good negotiators.
I've got no problem with the idea of doing "whatever" with my body after I'm done using it.

(50,557 posts)It seems that two police officers were patrolling a back road when they saw a guy filling in a hole on the side of the road. So, they stopped to check.
"What happened, sir?"
'A whole bus load of Trump supporters ran off the road right here. They all died, so I figured I'd do the neighborly thing and bury them.'
"Are you sure they were all dead?"
'Well...most of 'em said they wasn't, but you know how Trump supporters lie.'
