CptStern said:why do you want to be cremated? if you dont care what happens to you (dont care about sex after death) why not just dump your body into a ditch by the side of the road ...why have a funeral at all?
JNightshade said:hahaha, I'm the only one who said it wasn't immoral
here's how I see it: as long as you're not digging up graves to do it, and nobody else knows, go ahead. The previous owner of that body is clearly not going to mind. I mean, I think it's pretty gross, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
I'd get up to 8 years in prison for sexing up a dead personSimonomiS said:
Completely agreeNotATool said:No.
Whether he wants to be cremated or not now, once he's dead, he'll never know whether he was or not, hence he can't care.
You have a funeral because others want to respect your memory, but really the dead person couldn't care less.
SimonomiS said:Then I could cut up dead people and pin them to the walls, put them on strings and hold puppet shows, fry them up and eat them, so long as it floats my boat?
NotATool said:Well the dead person wouldn't care, but there are some serious sanitary issues with doing that.
But if you agree the person wouldnt care, then wouldn't it be moral?SimonomiS said:Yeah but we're not discussing that, we're talking about if its morality, you have no moral objections to me doing that though?

CptStern said:in unexpected deaths yes, but not for terminal patients ..no one expects to die, so planning for a funeral isnt all that common while still alive
why wouldnt you want the same degree of respect for your body alive as you would dead?
if you're in a coma and are never to regain consciousness would you have no qualms of someone having sex with your body (and lets be honest here, the chances of it being a woman is very slim)
SimonomiS said:Wait, are we talking about the actual corpse thinking it's immoral (which is just plain stupid, of course not) or society/individual people?
NotATool said:I was pretty sure we were talking about what you, as an individual, think.
NotATool said:So what if I do? You aren't having sex with me. It's the up to the dead person. Who's dead.
I honestly dont see who thatd harm...Dog-- said:Wait, wait, if the corpses don't care, would you make 2 corpses have sex and think it's not immoral?

SimonomiS said:So anything that doesn't harm somebody living and nobody alive knows about is A-OK?
What exactly is immoral that doesnt harm anyone thats alive? (Stealing from someoen harms them.. etc)SimonomiS said:So anything that doesn't harm somebody living and nobody alive knows about is A-OK?

harm - loss of or damage to a person's right, property, or physical or mental well-beingSimonomiS said:How does stealing harm someone? Mentally? Financially?

The embalming thing is definitely going in the paper. You rock.Mechagodzilla said:Necrophilia is not really unlike any other burial rite. All of 'em are basically pointless, but they hold profound emotional and/or religious importance, just like any form of non-procreational sex.
The basis of it's morality/immortality or not is therefore whether it harms anyone.
If the person allows it in their will, I can't see any harm being done. Their friends or family may disagree, but they have no right to control the guy's religious or sexual practices, even after death.
Although it's gross as all hell, it's really no different from embalming (fluids needlessly inserted to make mourners feel better). In fact, it's probably better than that, since lots of people never really consent to how their corpse ends up being disposed, and their families just put on the funeral they want to see.
If I die tomorrow, I'd definitely be given a christian-style burial, despite my being an atheist who'd rather be cryogenically frozen (since it'd be hilarious).
It's just, like many things, stigmatized for being sexual.
