Here is an interesting article seen on Yahoo news feed this morning.

It talks about the protocol that NASA is discussing over what to do if an astronaut dies in space.
Wrapping the body up and putting it outside the space craft to freeze then bringing it back in to smash up into little pieces sounds a bit gross but not as gross as chopping it into bits for fertilizer.
I say leave it up to the astronaut.
If it were me I would want to be zipped up in one of those silver foil bags like a potato and shot out the air lock to be burned up in the atmosphere. This could be timed so my relatives on Earth could see my shooting star streak overhead.
If you were to die in space what would you want done with your body?
