So it is very simple to put this sani-bag solution down as "degrading and shameful" but seeing that the usual alternative in these places is: bad latrines and defacation in open places, massive hygienic problems due to this circumstances - then one can come to the conclusion that comments like: "how bad, how disgraceful" this possible solution may be are cynical in its own way. They suppose that there are better, more dignified and healthier options are readily available or should just be realized. In fact nothing happens. amazingly strong reactions from negative comments, surely a proper decent sanitation with composting toilets availabel to every body would be the aim, but who in fact implies these in “slum” neighborhoods anywhere?

I'm also very curious if PROFESSOR Wilhelmson has tried it out himself first? would HE actually keep using it? or, if he's so concerned with eco-wareness, why not make it available and marketable all around the world? Unless, Swedish or Euro-US feces are either too valuable, or too toxic to be disposed of in nature like that! this "design" is both shameful and degrading! please remind me again why should a poor African continental (according to pics) use this and not the North-Western hemisphere citizen?

An then trying to add "education" to this mix. What? this is how I know that what ever research was done, was never critically analysed... and it is not about numbers and seeing people go in a bag in a slum in a 3rd world country. When i say critical I mean, at the end of the day, would I use this product, and that is an emphatic "NO!"... i mean what? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! wow.. i am thoroughly disturbed and very upset that anyone would think this is a good idea. An then trying to add “education” to this mix.
