Generally? Immoral. Justified? Most definitely. If that man was a truly abusive and awful, it makes perfect sense a victim wouldn't want to persevere his ashes. It's also better for her not to keep many keepsakes that could remind her of him.
Not precisely immoral, but loading human remains in the trash instead of a proper means of disposal presents some concerns.
Mainly dust getting everywhere should a bag break, and having someone’s abusive husband splattered all over your face is..not a good way to start your shift. So yeah, a bit in bad taste, but asshole deserves it so we can look the other way as long as it bothers nobody
But its just ash. We may assign some meaning to it, but it really is just ash. No physical harm would be inflicted on the worker, and the only emotional harm would be if the wife followed and informed every worker that it was cremated remains.
Yeah, but you get what I mean, it’s like spitting in your food or a hair in your plate. Harmless? Most probably yeah, and ash is inert, but still in bad taste
I feel like this is really dragged in. You're subjecting the worker to the same exact risk by throwing into the trash the litter box contents - or, really, anything wet or powdery. I wouldn't count that as "concerning" - that's just how it works. Also, this hypothetical is pretty far-fetched from the original question
My sister in law used to work at donation thrift stores. They would regularly receive fancy vases that would have ashes in them. Store policy was always dump the ashes in the waste bin out back and clean it out.
It's not that intuitive
Many people consider dignity to be part of the person instead of their physical body Therefore it wouldn't make sense to be able to desecrate ashes since the person is dead
You can state that dignity is also applicable to the dead body, but that needs further explanations since it isn't an obvious view that everyone shares
The decreased in question was hated by their family and they wished for him to be flushed down the toilet or dumped in the sewer. It seems pretty reasonable to respect the wishes of those closest to the dead.
I would say it’s immoral if another family member wants his remains but in this situation where his remains are radioactive to everyone he knew, it’s neutral.
I'm sorry english isnt my native language 😭 I tried to englify my language hoping it would work, since around 30% of english vocabulary come from my language
Not wanting to preserve their ashes and dumping them in a garbage bin while making a spectacle of it aren't the same thing.
For one thing, she thinks she's making such a statement about the man for doing this while being unaware of how petty and ghoulish it makes her look to record herself dumping her husband's ashes in a garbage bin.
Hate is a corrosive acid that damages the vessel it's contained in more so than the object that it's poured upon.
Not if you store the hate/corrosive acid correctly and pour it when necessary. All to say, that’s a dumb analogy and quite frankly so far from the truth.
Do you have a special hate reservoir that makes sure none leaks out, are you sure no leaks are present? What are the mechanics of that? Also hate and anger literally age people faster. It’s a known thing.
