That’s true. After you are dead your body isn’t really you anymore, it’s just your shell. But it is still hurtful to those left behind.

nope and even then you don't need your body then your spirit not substance and your corpse in my mind wouldn't really matter

You don't believe in speaking to the dead, do you, Amp?

because you can't lack what you don't have.

I don't think I follow that. If I don't have something, doesn't that mean I lack it?

quote:

So then would it follow through that it is rape, because no consent was given, or that it was not, because consent was not possible?

Rape is defined in a general matter as "sexual acts performed with out consent" this lack of consent could be seen to require the ability to give consent because you can't lack what you don't have. I know that we have a healthy respect for the dead but asking a body consent is kind of like asking a chair consent to sit in it. It's foolish, why? because the chair cannot give consent.

So while necrophilia isn't rape (under this working definition) it is still very nasty and should be a crime in it's own right (the exception being if the deceased specifies that their body be donated to a necrophiliac group, kinda like donating your body to science only icky from the general perspective)

Why should it be illegal?

Because that is sick..and gross! And very disrespectful to the dead!

This should be illegal!!!

Why?

the corpse can't give consent, can it?

So then would it follow through that it is rape, because no consent was given, or that it was not, because consent was not possible?

If you want to stick parts of your body into rotting flesh, I won't stop you.

Indeed, without consent it would be considered rape, but then again, the corpse can't give consent, can it?

It's very interesting that there isn't a federal law against necrophilia. I suppose our administration is too concerned with protecting stem cells and playing in a giant sandbox.

Thats just completely SICK! Gross... anyone who would wanna do that is mentally ill!! This should be illegal!!!

Well honesty if somebody wanted to dig up MY dead body to have sex with it. I'd be rather flattered. But really, once you're dead you're dead, you don't feel it or react to it in anyway (and I'm thinking sex with a dead corpse wouldn't be that great in the first place, a little dry perahps?) so what's the big deal? Personally people do weird things, and I don't always see what they find so great about it, but if you want to have sex with a girl who has been dead for 2 weeks and decomposing and you make the effort to dig her out of the grave I applaud you for being a sick bastard.

HELLL NO Necrophilia shouldnt be legal.. i glt no personal problem with it but its just freakin gross..

if you want to do it thats on you but remember thats someones loved one .
would you want someone having sex with your dead relatives corpse?.. why would they anyways

in a case not to long ago i think it was in texas were they tried to appeal the law of necrophilia and beastiality but trying to ban saudomy....sad..

I think that you would probably have to start with a petition and getting the word out there. We should do that!

There was an article on this in the paper today; the problem is not in the lack of law, but in the ambiguity of an existing law.

So how would you go about changing that Law?

Tell that to the politicians.

It is really wrong in my eyes though.

well it's bull shit.

Why is it even under question. Rape is illegal, and Necrophilia is rape of a dead body. so it should be illegal. (i don't see why it's not illegal there...)

Its not illegal, because somebody along the way lost all of there neurons when it was in question.

Disrespect to the dead.
