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.

If you have only just realised that, then I suspect that you are the only person that didn't know it! martyb is his SN username, and Bytram is his IRC nickname. So, not a sock puppet but 2 different usernames for 2 different places. If he submits a story via one of several bots that we maintain on IRC then his IRC nick will be used automatically.
