The Delaware Senate has passed a bill that permits the composting of human bodies as an alternative to traditional burial or cremation. The legislation, which passed with a 14-7 vote, is now awaiting approval from Democratic Governor John Carney.
The bill authorizes a practice known as natural organic reduction, commonly referred to as human composting. This method is already legal in several states, including Washington, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, California, New York, and Nevada, with legislation pending in numerous other states.
