Oklahoma State Representative Jim Shaw's recent post on X has sparked a heated debate online over a process called Natural Organic Reduction (NOR), colloquially known as human composting, in which dead human bodies are used to fertilise the farming soil.
Shaw revealed that the House advanced bill HB3660, which could legalise the composting method in the state. This would add Oklahoma to a list of 14 "BLUE" states that have already legalised the process. He claimed that instead of outlawing this practice, the state was on track to allow it and called it a "disgusting step forward."
