Should human waste be used as compost?

I know it sounds gross, but if you think about it
it would have all naturally returned to the Earth.
(If not for our estranged relationship to things that leave our own bodies.)

We use cow manure as fertilizer.
Why not human excrement?

In China, the placenta is prized for its medicinal properties.
Maybe menstrual blood also has some nutrients?
Stop gagging. I’m not proposing that we consume it.
But it probably wouldn’t be all that bad for compost.

We use so much energy cleaning sewage water. And I don’t even want to think about how much I’ve put into landfill since I hit puberty. Could we just use it for compost instead?

Is the main barrier that we get the heeb-jeebs just thinking about it?
If it were possible to do so, would you do it?
Why or why not?

I just googled a bit while composing this question and found that Alice Waters got trounced for supporting human waste as compost.
