Is there anyone who isn’t eligible for human composting?

The process of natural organic reduction destroys most harmful pathogens. There are three rare diseases that disqualify a body from undergoing human composting: Ebola, prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, and tuberculosis.

Monitoring for these diseases is the responsibility of hospitals and medical examiners. Patients who have received radiation seed implants within 30 days of death are also not eligible for NOR in most cases.

For patients who have received radiation seed implants within 30 days of death, the treated organ must be removed before they are eligible for human composting.
