Un processus à part : l'auto-momification. [...] certains humains peuvent parvenir à une sorte de momification volontaire. Des moines boudhistes désireux de purifier leurs corps entamaient un processus qui pouvait durer plusieurs années. Enfermé dans un espace réduit et sans contact direct avec l'extérieur, le moine contrôlait son alimentation en ne mangeant que des éléments secs (comme des noix), il se déshydratait et se dégraissait ainsi volontairement. Cette sorte de suicide permettait aux moines d'atteindre un état de plénitude et de devenir des sortes de dieu mi-vivant, mi-mort. Cette pratique est maintenant interdite. 1, record 3, French, - auto%2Dmomification
