Glass Cremation
Can a human body be preserved in glass?
Instead of burial, cremation, etc., could a dead body be preserved in glass instead? Would it be legal? Would the body last as if it were frozen in time? Or would the molten glass melt the flesh upon pouring?
I don't want to be buried in the ground, or cremated. Cryopreservation would be awesome but it's hella expensive. Glass, amber, crystal? Dump me off in the arctic? Haha...
Molten glass would burn the flesh to carbon on contact, but a body could be encapsulated in plastic resin.
The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois has a body encased in plastic. It is also sliced to display the organs. It is legal for them, but I would expect not for the general public. I imagine it would be ok if someone wanted to encapsulate their deceased hamster though.
I have never seen any form of preservation that is perfect so that the body looks just like it was alive. There is always some change in volume, color, texture, etc. A body needs enbalming to preserve it against the effects of molds and aerobic and anaerobic bacteria which can come from outside the body or inside.
