PROMESSION- What if someone dies in space?



Death is an unconditional part of human lives. In every culture and religion there are different way for the burials. If we are on earth we can perform any way provided as per our customs. My concern is regarding, if someone dies in space, how he/she should be buried in proper manner.

The Swedish Biologist, Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak has provided us the new form of ecological burial, named as ‘Promession’.

Promession- In this form firstly the corpse is to be placed in a coffin. Then it is  frozen to minus 18 degree Celsius and lastly submerge into a liquid nitrogen. This makes the body very fragile and vibration of a particular amplitude disintegrate into an organic powder. After which those particles will be introduced in a vacuum chamber, where the water is evaporated away.

Legality of promession - Promession is legal in Sweden and Scotland. 

Constitution created- The Right to environment as a fundamental right. This means that all activities undertaken by either private person or government must be undertaken in accordance with this right.

Conclusion- In respect of India, after recognizing and respecting every cultural, traditional and religious necessities in respect of burials, I firmly believe proper guidelines should be framed for the implementation of alternative burial methods. 

Being a citizen it’s our duty to protect our environment and also our outer space.

  1. I think article proper headline should be "what to do when someone die" because I didn't see any space situation here. But good work and great article about how we can prevent pollutions caused by dead bodies.

    1. I wrote that headline so that my audience can relate this method with any death occurs mainly in space, and I believe every person knows that there is no gravity in space so we cannot perform our traditional burial methods... in respect of this article my duty is to write regarding space, law and our duties. But thank you for your suggestion

      In respect of your suggested headline, answer is quite obvious in respect of earth, Traditional methods of burial will only be opted.

We have the autonomy to make decisions while living, so after it regarding our bodily integrity through a will. Growing up in a democratic country, perhaps the reason fundamental rights are imperative for us. Our constitution has expanded its horizons by granting rights to the posthumous bodily integrity of every life.  Since 1989 Parmanand Katara v. Union of India & Ors, Right of decent burial is included to live with dignity u/art.21 and till today apex court has pronounced the same in many. The states are under obligation to have a proper burial as per the religious beliefs of deceased  Ashray Adhikar Abhiyan v.

Even after such measures taken by our apex court, the fundamental rights of citizens seem to get violated often.   Recently at Hathras-  Background of C

What law expresses: Is it allowed to produce noise pollution in the name of religion?

What law expresses: Is it allowed to produce noise pollution in the name of religion? Emerging pollution on our planet is leading to the mass destruction and extinction of various species and has repugnant effects on human health too. It’s our duty to preserve our planet and never by our own acts lead this annihilation. Now, far from philosophical things, let’s stick to the law. I would like to tell what our law expresses regarding the term ‘RELIGION’. The word ‘RELIGION’ used in Art. 25 & 26 of the constitution is personal to the person having faith and belief in the religion and held that the ct was constitutional as it regulated only the secular activities connected with religion, and not matters which are integral parts of religion.
