Human urine - yes good source of nitrates, although it will kill plants if undiluted (too much of a good thing...) . Human poop NO! it should NEVER be used as fertilizer. Typical human diet makes it pretty worthless as fertilizer, and pathogens make it a really dumb thing to do. Poop from grazing animals isn't the same stuff as human poop, which is where i think people get mixed up.
