One thing I think about regularly when seeing the ocean is that we're all fine with swimming in a body of water that has dead people in it. All the oceans are connected and the probability that there is at least one dead person in it at any given time is extremely high if not outright 1. And yet I don't think there are many people who won't enter an ocean because there are dead people in it. Yet there won't be many people who will willingly enter a small pool with a bloated, rotting body in it just to go for a swim. So somewhere between these two scenarios is the threshold where you're fine with the dead body to water or space ratio.

Water? Never touched the stuff. Fish fuck in it.

We breathe the same air that dead people are in, and walk on the same ground that dead people are in, so what's your point?
