Hummmm, check out a book called "Stiff" by Mary Roach. Me, I'm all for human composting !

As for working with microbes, well the yeast I work with makes bread and beer, so Im not really that terrified every time I open the fridge !

Good working practice is always used however this is more for the protection of the culture than myself!

I'm just not that threatened by a VPS18/PEP4 knockout !
