Soon We'll Be Drinking Recycled Pee; Some of Us Already Are..

(Nov. 1) -- Someday, millions of Americans will be drinking their own urine, says Robert Roy Britt, managing editor of LiveScience.com, a news site that prides itself on the provocative approach it takes to science.

In a recent commentary for the site, Britt, based in arid Phoenix, said that because of imminent drought in the West, many people will have to rely on treated sewage -- containing human waste -- for their drinking water.

"We now have too many people living in places where we don't have fresh water," Britt told AOL News.

I think they are right. The people that live in, by or around places with no fresh water would have to resort to doing something so that they can drink. They can just purify the "water" that they have, so that they can drink it.
