...an Illinois-based company was using science to turn carbon from the cremation process into diamonds for the family of the deceased.I think of myself as pretty open minded, but I find this to be beyond creepy.
The jewelry, which comes in either gold or blue, gives the family a way to "keep their loved one with them," said Rusty VandenBiesen, chief operating officer for LifeGem.
"People find it a comfort," he said. "A new way to celebrate the life of a loved one."
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
