Is there a reason to assume we will be born as a human being? In this hypothetical, I'm already asked to discard everything that makes me who I am. It seems like the logical extension would be to apply it to all life.

Why do we want it to decompose? It's made of carbon, so if it sits underground in a place where it doesn't break down, isn't that effectively sequestered carbon? Decomposing it into CO2 and releasing it into the global carbon

In some ways, a land-value tax is kind of like that. A LVT of x% is equivalent to the government taking x% of your land and making you buy it back from them at market value. Perhaps that indicates that the more palatable solution would be
