The judge has no right! burial is a religious thing. (Well, OK so maybe the judge does have some say so based on laws dealing with human remains.)

I'm so sick and tired of people trying to push their views on others.

Them keeping a mummified baby around is harming no one! (Though certainly it would be nice to test it and find out where it came from... to make sure it didn't come from the black market.)

Who's to say which death rite is proper and which isn't?!

I've actually always found it sick and wrong to hole someone in a cement culvert, but i don't go around picketing cemeteries or telling people that.

Don't you think that maybe your notions on these things have more to do with the culture in which you were raised? ("You" in general, no one in particular.)

(That's been pent up since even before the freeze dried pet thread.)
