You said dead people can’t consent. I said neither can shoes. Tell me the bit where I am wrong?
You have now added something about importance, on which I never commented.
And calling people objects is why the right is crazy.
If a person drowns and has no heartbeat, is it okay for you to have a quickie with them before the paramedics arrive to save him? Clinically they’re dead, so… by your logic, they’re an object, and never had the ability to consent in the first place, so quickly fucking them up the arse should be a-okay, right?
Or is there like a timer you have for when a person goes from a person to an object, which then retroactively never had personhood anyway? Is it just time, or is it temperature, or as soon as the smell sets in? Some people have been clinically dead for half an hour in cold water before being resuscitated, the cold helping protect from brain damage. And some people smell like dead bodies while alive.
I’m just curious as to your personal criteria.
Yeah. People aren’t objects. Even if human remains were, you’d have a hard time arguing when a person stops existing without “well once they’ve rotted for a week, they’re definitely not alive.” yeah no shit
Again, too vague, and you still have the problem of when.
Also, Google “man wakes up in morgue”, you’ll find tons of documented cases of people waking up at the morgue, because someone was mistaken about them being dead.
Things like that is why necrophilia is generally frowned upon. Even necrophiles probably wouldn’t like to fuck the bodies which are every clearly dead, as in, say, a bloated corpse recovered from water. There’s no mistaking whether someone like that is dead or not.
But someone at the morgue who’s been there less than 24 hours is still possibly alive and definitely a “they” and not an “it”.
Biology, legality and philosophy all disagree with your assertion that a dead body is equivalent to random inanimate objects.
It’s human remains. A deceased individual. A corpse. You do not get to treat it on the same level as a shoe.
