I don't understand this logic, who the hell would vote against an anti-necrophilia law?  :uhrr:

Also, apparently it's only illegal in ~20 of the 50 states. I hope this is partially due to a general lack of people sufficiently desperate testing the limits of legality in those states.

Only 20 states?

I'll remember that next time I need a new hobby.

Speaking of, what the fuck? The dead can't give consent? There's lots of reasons to vote against necrophilia, like - it's sick, sick, sick, sick. But their logic? Total backwards retarded political shit logic. Just dumb. Dumb as nails.

Not that I'm a big fan of necrophilia, but* the "dead people can't give consent so necrophilia is rape" logic seems more than a little  :uhrr:.  Dead bodies are legally equivalent to live people now?

* boy, there's a sentence opener if I ever saw one

I'm going to start suing the dead for public indecency...


...and calling the police and turning them in as squatters.

I read this and all that came into mind was a live GWAR song on one of their CDs.  "I happen to know the law here in Canananananada. And I happen to know, that it's not rape if it's DEAD!"


I probably need to seek professional help.

I started typing out a post in reply to this. I then realized I was discussing necrophilia in some detail in an attempt to make a point explaining that it's wrong.

Why am I even in this thread.

It's certainly disgusting, but to play devil's advocate, I don't think there's anything illegal about the act itself. I think the problem is that you're likely digging up someone (trespassing) whose relatives would object (theft).

I suppose if you could obtain permission from next-of-kin, it could be permissible.

Though it would still be disgusting.

I tire of our government making new laws.  Somehow, someway, there's an insurance company behind this.  That's why 99% of new laws are made these days anyways....

Is a corpse property?  Or is it a person?

(I don't know the answer but that is probably the question.)

A lot of people are reading this story wrong. Nobody has voted for or against necrophilia, the Wisconsin High Court has just ruled whether or not current Wisconsin law makes it illegal. Not whether it *should* be illegal but whether it actually is. The judges who ruled that it wasn't illegal weren't (presumably) saying htat necrophilia was a cool thing to do but that in their opinion it wasn't specifically illegal under existing law. Those who ruled that it was illegal used the consent issue as the basis for that opinion. There are other, better reasons to make it illegal but none of those reasons appear to be enshrined in Wisconsin law at the moment.

From what I remember of reading about "Ressurection Men" theft of corpses isn't illegal in a majority of states, either.  Want to go dig a body to sell it off for parts or to Medical schools? Go for it. Most they can get you for is trespass.  Well, that WAS the case at least, as more and more corpses are being stolen or scavenged for transplant parts, more states are passing laws about the sale and theft of necrotic tissues.

There aren't a lot of laws covering the dead, really.  Probably because we don't want to think about where we're all headed.. lawmakers much sooner than the rest of us :grin:  The lack of necrophilia laws I just pass off as people figuring "that's not really a problem, who the fuck would have sex with the dead?"

What he said.

Yes.  Also, for whoever mentioned it, the penalty for necrophilia is nowhere near the penalty for rape.  From a constitutional standpoint, I seriously doubt you could equalize the punishments. 

EDIT:  Although I suppose you could get charged with attempted rape if the government could prove you didn't know they were dead. 

This just makes me want to dig out my copy of the classic TSOL song Code Blue. But I can only find the cover by Black Velvet Flag

What a travesty. You know America has become a welfare state when all those lazy corpses can afford to lay around doing nothing instead of earning their keep by helping all those poor necrophiliacs get off as market forces demand.

Love your work.

I pimp dead people.

Being someone that lives in Wisconsin, and someone that will likely someday be dead, I wholeheartedly support this legislation.

Think of the zombies!

So I wondered why.  ..

I am glad they cleared this up...

I wonder if I can inherit 'booty rights' or prior relationship would count as consent?  What about wills, can I write consent of post-mortal sex into my will?

So is your wife still your property after she's dead?  :awesome_for_real:

And while we're at it, what is it called if your wife only acts like a corpse?

Mariage ?  :awesome_for_real:

Inexperience.  Pimp her out some.

This means I'm gonna have to move, doesn't it? :(
