      Yeah, its insensitive to the survivors. That’s definitely another issue, and pestering them for “juicy information” is pretty gross and callous.

      (The dead person doesn’t care though, they’re dead.)

        Actually, yeah I wouldn’t care if someone covers me stupidly in their podcast, but I’d be upset if they harrased any people I know (well, I wouldn’t because I’m dead).

        You realize that necrophilia could be justified with this?

            There might exist people who care about your corpse. Maybe they’ll have objections about someone having sex with it, at least it’s guaranteed if the dead person didn’t wish for it to happen.

                Nope. None who have any right.

                Believe it or not: other people do have rights over your body. You don’t own your own body. You’re dead, remember?

                In this hypothetical; me. Go nuts.

                What if I told you that you’re not the only person in the world?

                  you don’t own

                  Oh, i guess if somebodys gonna eat it or something they might mind someone fucking it, but im not an organ donor-the odds are too high it would get used as a chew toy for cops, and i dont want them to have free fun ever.

                  not the only person in the world.

                  Cool so who has that right? No family, no lovers at present, no close friends nearby. Fuck off with your propertarian garbage. Or on, if you’re gonna put it to some use.

              There other reasons other than the dead person themselves to keep a taboo on necrophilia:

              1. As stated, the dead person has survivors who likely would find that psychologically distressing/traumatic.
              2. Normalization of necrophilia has other unsettling implications directly and indirectly related on a societal level.
              3. Disease.

              Probably some stuff I’m forgetting.

                I primarily thought of the first point but didn’t understand what you meant since the word survivor is used incorrectly, but from the context it would seem like you mean relatives and friends.

                    survivor noun. a person who survives, especially a person remaining alive after an event in which others have died.

                    I would accept your passive aggressive contribution if the word in question was the verb “survive” and not the noun “survivor”. Fuck off.

            I mean, if someone explicitly states in their will that they’re OK with their body being turned into a sex toy (or even that its one of their wishes) that complicates things but there are still good reasons to deny it anyway.
