Funerals are generally religious ceremonies intended as a final "good bye" to loved ones. How will a colony on Mars carry out the rites of the dead? -- Ioneill 05:34, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Controversy?
Is there really a controversy? The burial of remnants in soil is best practice on Earth (and so it is with cremation). I have specified the powder burial more precisely, so that vegetables are no longer in contact. Possibly your "moral question" must be updated. -- Rfc 08:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Apologies, I didn't mean to leave the "controversial" tag on this article, I was using it as a test for the template. I will remove it now. Feel free to change the "Moral Question" tag with an answer, if not remove it all together. -- Ioneill 09:50, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Ooops, I didn't recognize your comment "controversial tag for fun". Okay, how do we go on with question tags in general? I would not feel very comfortable with changing the article's text and removing the tag, because I might got the question wrong or I did not see every aspect of the question. May be, the changed article text provokes more or different questions. Therefore, I would like to leave it to the inquirer to either remove or alter the posed question. -- Rfc 10:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

- As an example, edit the question tag like this:
| ? |
"Would settlers be happy with eating vegetables grown from the remnants of their dead crewmates? - Ioneill |
- {{moral question|Would settlers be happy with eating vegetables grown from the remnants of their dead crewmates? - [[User:Ioneill|Ioneill]]'' <br/> This problem can be avoided by having separate sections in the greenhouses - one for food production, another for funerals. - ~~~}}
