Washington becomes first US state to legalise human composting
Washington has become the first state in the US to legalise human composting.
Under the new law, people there can now choose to have their body turned into soil after their death.
The process is seen as an alternative to cremations and burials, and as a practical option in cities where land for graveyards is scarce.
At the end of the composting, loved ones are given the soil, which they can use in planting flowers, vegetables or trees.
Grow vegetables using human compost from loved one, despair as pests eat all of it.

You looked for the Links. And, very quickly, found the Links. Great job, thank you! And, not a hard job -- because Fox, so many times they have the Link right there for us. For those of us that "open" the article on Fox News.
And the one on the Elusive Molecule, I assume the original was "on" Nature.Com. Then it went through AFP -- the French AP. And finally it came to Phys.Org. Where they added the Tags. The useless Links to Tags. Which you say "have nothing to do with the content." You're so right about that. 100% right. And you say, it's part of the Editors' "job" to erase those. But, look at the story about U.S. Navy Room-Temperature Superconductor. Not the last one you put up from Phys.Org. But, the next to last. The Peni Ultimate. From February. Another Janrinok number and it has the Tags Links in it. Not erased, those went to Front( also known as Main) "page." You say it's you're job. But, you don't do it. Too bad!

He not only does not see it as necessary, but sees it as a drawback. To Fox News sycophants, news is only validated with the imprimatur of Fox News. All those other Phys.org articles could be fake news supporting quack theories like Climate Change, so why would you ever go back to that original source when only Fox News is sufficiently Truthy.
