Since prions are found abundantly in the head, just bury or lock away the skulls and treat them like nuclear waste. Compost or cremate the rest of the body.

- Y_Y 5y agoThis is a solved problem! My startup is building modern, cutting-edge catacombs where we're redefining what it means to have a huge, underground maze full of decomposing human heads.
- dependsontheq 5y agoI think your funding should primarily come from Kickstarter, I think that there will be very few lawsuits of people who want to deposit their skull.

- rovr138 5y agoI have no idea if this is true or not... and that worries me. I think it's not, but, maybe?
- bserge 5y agoIt's just another Catacombs of Paris, which to be fair has stagnated, so maybe a new agile startup can do better.
- creddit 5y agoIt really is ripe for disruption. Will need significant upfront capital infusions, though, and really the ultimate play is on the cloud or possibly blockchain which has some bootstrapping issues. Watching this space closely.
- walterlb 5y agoGreat! Legacy underground mazes full of decomposing human heads are such a pain.

- ssully 5y agoI am in a similar market, but we are turning cadavers into headless server platforms.
- esyir 5y agoAre your digital cants to the omnissiah iso-9001 compliant too?
- jodrellblank 5y agoAlcor will do this for $80,000/head, are your prices competitive?
- agumonkey 5y ago> cutting-edge missed opportunity or subtlety mastery ?
- fileeditview 5y agoSounds like a civilized thing to do. Just hack off the head and store it in some permanent disposal site. Then a few centuries later our ancestors will have to move the nuclear waste because of some leakage and will dig up the skulls. Clearly a savage had lived there amongst the nuclear barrels. Its mind altered by the radiation, chopping off those poor worker heads. If it wasn't clear: /s And yes prions might be dangerous but what you propose seems out of proportion.
- rebuilder 5y agoNow hold on, I think you're on to something. We still haven't solved how to communicate the dangers of nuclear waste to our descendants several millenia from now. What better warning than thousands and thousands of skulls piled around the hazmat?
- boomboomsubban 5y agoThere are already things like the Skull Chapel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_Chapel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_Chapel that are basically tourist traps because of having a bunch of skulls.
- coredog64 5y agoRadioactive prions. It’s like chocolate and peanut butter.
- SllX 5y agoYou could also put them in a jar and start a museum with them.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoActually putting in into nuclear waste solves the problem forever
