A horrible hypothetical

Lunatic Goofballs
18-10-2008, 23:13
A rather dark thought flittered through my brain. Usually I let the really dark ones keep going because they are usually more gruesome than fun. But I decided to hold onto it and see if I could make something amusing out of it.

The thought was this:

As we all know, necrophilia is typically illegal and a taboo of the highest order. Most people understand why. Most people would rather not even think about it, nevermind talk about it. I certainly have no problem with that. But what I wonder is this: Suppose you were okay with it. What I mean is, what if you had no objection to someone using your corpse after your eventual demise for their personal entertainment. Would it still be illegal?

Consensual Necrophilia. Discuss. :D

To be honest, I don't see why it should be illegal in that situation (in fact, I struggle to think precisely why it should be illegal generally, as I can't work out precisely where the harm caused is). But I think in law it probably would be, because as far as I know there's no "unless consensual" bit in the law.

EDIT: I suppose emotional harm to the family could be a good reason

Yeah, I don't think German law cares much about the desires and needs of the dead, so it would still be illegal.

interesting thought.

there is a display called Bodies in Motion (or somesuch.) where they have actual cadavers, some stripped down to muscles, others to the bone, and all poised in various activities.

if they had one showing sex... would that be considered Necrophilia?

then there is how Consent is given. by way of Will? "My posessions will be divided by any who f*&ks my cold body"? others will use that to show that you were not 'of sound mind'.

it will probably still be illegal.

Still illegal. U.S. doesn't care. Besides, considering my body would be busy being tossed out of an airplane while over the White House, it would also be a little hard to do.

I want to be the only person in American history to be convicted for acts of terrorism done post-mortem.

Rationally speaking, I know I should be fine with it then. I'm not using the body any more, so I don't see why someone else shouldn't be allowed to take pleasure from it, with my consent. Emotionally speaking, I'm not sure. It might be some degree of latent asexuality or homophobia* speaking, but I don't think I'm comfortable with it on that level, and wouldn't really want it to happen to me.

Now, on a strict reading of your question, you've assumed I have "no problem with it". Thusly it should not be illegal, I feel. Even though I do have some degree of emotional problem with it, I think it should still be permitted (it being necrophilia in general). Someone should be able to grant their corpse for such use, to whomever the please.

Much more interestingly, I feel: Presuming necrophilia is legal if a note is made in the will, would you put such a note in your will? Would you allow other people to take sexual pleasure from your corpse after your death? That's a question I'm just not sure about answering. There's a conflict between my emotional and logical responses to it that I would have to meditate on somewhat. But to make a first pass at it: Yes, but only very specific people**, and with full discussion about it beforehand.

Finally, that's a really good question you've asked. It should have the bonus of making everyone actively think quite a bit about their feelings and position, especially those of us who are generally socially liberal.

*For some reason I automatically assume it would be a guy. I can see a logical reason that it would be tricky for women, but still... I'll need to think about this as well.

**That raises another interesting question: presuming necrophilia is legal, but only with the pre-granted consent of the deceased, what happens to someone who has sex with a corpse that indicated they did not wish this to happen? Basically, what happens if one has sex with an unwilling corpse? Should one be prosecuted for rape?

Also, if consensual necrophilia is still illegal, should it be a less stringent punishment than non-consensual necrophilia?

"To my brother, [REDACTED], I give and bequeath all my furniture and DVD collection, to be and remain his with full power, right and authority to dispose of the same as to him shall seem most meet and proper; upon the express condition, however, that he should suck my cold, dead balls.

Hmm, this is kinda icky.

Question.. Hypothetically speaking, do you get to choose which gender performs the necrophilia? What I mean is, as a male, I don't know if I would be too keen on another male using my dead body as a means to his ends.. Just 'cause that's not the team I batted for while alive.

If a female could get some sort of satisfaction from my dead body, well, it'd be strange, but it would probably make a bit more 'sense'.. Or something.

Ooh, also interesting. I would say yes --- the wishes of the deceased are normally taken into account when dealing with events that pop up after their death, so why not this time?

At risk of hijack, should that apply to consensual cannibalism?

Why do you want to deny other people pleasure, when it doesn't affect you either way?

Roughly my position. The follow on question, then:

Presuming necrophilia is to be legal, would you allow your corpse to be used for it?

If so, would there be any restrictions on who can use it?

Yes, we've had this discussion before. I was in it.

I was arguing against consensual necrophilia due to virii and bacteria present in the corpse. However, presuming that excuse was no longer viable, it will still bother me. The thing is though, I can't make a viable argument against without that excuse.

What I want to know is what would/should happen say if during consensual sex, while both partners are alive, should one partner expire during the act, the decides to continue until climax is achieved. Does that constitute necrophilia? Or rape for that matter? Consent was given by both partners, does that die with the giver of said consent?

Would it still be illegal?

That's highly dependent on your location. The pertinent section of the Swedish criminal code:

"A person who, without authorisation, moves, injures or outrageously treats the corpse or ashes of the dead, opens a grave or otherwise inflicts damage on or abuses a coffin, urn, grave or other resting place of the dead or a tombstone, shall be sentenced for crime against the peace of the tomb to a fine or imprisonment for at most two years."

The authorisation bit is primarily used for people being able to donate their bodies to science, but I am not aware of a case where something like you are suggesting has happened and the law been applied to it. If one looks in the law (1995:832) on autopsies, it does not permit one to donate the body to anyone else other than a qualified anatomical institution at a university/higher seat of education/hospital. The law ends with "He who wilfully performs an act upon a deceased human in violation of this law shall be sentenced to a fine."

So, any sort of "agreement" to allow someone to have sex with your carcass once you are dead would with a high degree of certainty not be held legally viable in this country.

I don't see how the person's body is any different than any other possessions after death. Cadavers should be commodities, though the ownership of such should (and as far as I know, does) default to the next-of-kin as long as there is no information regarding ownership in the Will, or unless the cadaver's inhabitant had been an organ donor. There are some environmental concerns when owning a human corpse, I'm sure, which may or may not put the legality of necrophilia in question, though.

This thread needs a song! A thrash metal song from Poland, to be exact:

Turbo (http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3536) - Mortuary

From the wide open door
Comes deadly chill
Something draws me inside
The stench and thrill
I don't know where I am
I'm here by chance
The odour of rotting bodies
Clears any doubt
Mortuary!

It's cold and smelly here
Makes me afraid
Lying next to each other
Anonymous dead bodies
Hardly visible shapes
Under white sheets
Protruding bluish feet
Remind me where I am
Mortuary!

This place is so impressive
Makes you remember death
I must escape from here
Away from this foul stench
It's only one corridor
And I will be outside
But I can't escape the truth
That I'll have to return

This raises another question as well. What about bodies that may be a few hundred or thousand years old? Mummies for example. Are they bodies? Or artifacts? If it is a body, then crimes against it are treated as such am I right? But if it is an artifact then does that warrant a completely different protocol? Take the black market smuggling (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/03/0304_040304_mummyantiquities_2.htmlhttp://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/03/0304_040304_mummyantiquities_2.html) of ancient artifacts out of countries and into museums around the world. Or in the case of a mummy, human trafficking?

Wouldn't that just be a rather morbid form of organ donation?

Or taxidermy, as we're talking about being stuffed and mounted after death. ;)

A dedicated taxidermist could probably make a proper realdoll out of the departed person that you desire as a post mortem love interest. I'm afraid there might be a market for such a niche product.

The problem with consent is that it only really works if the person is still alive. Who's to say I didn't change my mind the second I died and didn't really want you using my dead body for sex. Maybe I said yes but then thought about it on my death bed and didn't have time to change the will! WHAT AN AWFUL SITUATION!

Anyway, necrophilia isn't very clean and if it were legal I could see it causing health problems, especially if people were unwilling to let their "toy" go when it was rotting away.

As said before, a more hygienic and sensible form of necrophilia is possible if certain progresses are made in the field of taxidermy. Think about it... significantly increasing the longevity in terms of usefulness of those who are no longer alive, so that despite their permanent mental absence they still can satisfy the urges of those who prefer their partners silent as the grave. I can't decide if it's poetic or horrifying, so it's probably both.

Anyway, there really isn't any use in arguing over this. There is no way in hell any politician, judge, community organizer, whatever will endorse making this legal.

Understatement of the month. Mind you, we usually don't argue about subjects because it makes sense. Usually the merry lads and gals that frequent NSG just argue for arguing's sake. It has its charm, occasionally.

A rather dark thought flittered through my brain. Usually I let the really dark ones keep going because they are usually more gruesome than fun. But I decided to hold onto it and see if I could make something amusing out of it.

The thought was this:

As we all know, necrophilia is typically illegal and a taboo of the highest order. Most people understand why. Most people would rather not even think about it, nevermind talk about it. I certainly have no problem with that. But what I wonder is this: Suppose you were okay with it. What I mean is, what if you had no objection to someone using your corpse after your eventual demise for their personal entertainment. Would it still be illegal?

Consensual Necrophilia. Discuss. :D

It might be worth being legal just to see what TV adds would be thought up!
:p

When I die my body should be stuffed. I want all my favorite phrases recorded so they can be put into my stuffed body, and activated by a string with a loop placed in my back that you pull. A pretty original idea I believe.

haha ..well since i am not a necrophiliac, i wouldnt want anyone to use my body after I die ..but i suppose if 2 parties have already signed consensual agreements in life and if one dies, the other gets the body ..then its fine. ..though i have to say i have not come across any necrphiliacs yet ...

Makes me wonder how one would recognise the safe word.
Other than, perhaps, a release of gas out of one orifice or another.

To be honest, I don't see why it should be illegal in that situation (in fact, I struggle to think precisely why it should be illegal generally, as I can't work out precisely where the harm caused is). But I think in law it probably would be, because as far as I know there's no "unless consensual" bit in the law.

EDIT: I suppose emotional harm to the family could be a good reason

Plenty of reasons besides the obvious gut revultion and religious taboos. Hygene, distress to the family, inability of the dead to give consent...

What I want to know is what would/should happen say if during consensual sex, while both partners are alive, should one partner expire during the act, the decides to continue until climax is achieved. Does that constitute necrophilia? Or rape for that matter? Consent was given by both partners, does that die with the giver of said consent?

Shh no one needs to know. I hadnt found a willing partner in twelve years gimme a break so what if she was a little experienced.
