So is necrophilia acceptable if the person doesn’t experience it and no one is around to see it?
If not I don’t really see why necrophilia is unacceptable but using a person’s distorted and preserved body as a display item acceptable.

I don’t really agree that people should have post-mortem rights. The only reason such things matter at all is how the still living feel about it.
People might be upset by the existence or display of such artifacts, and it might be better to respect those feelings. But the former head owner is gone and I don’t think their wishes matter anymore.

Do you think we should be able to do the same with people who suffer with Alzheimer’s disease or senility since they are technically “gone”? What about Down syndrome since their wishes are not on the same level as ours? Where do you draw the line?

Being literally dead, as in no brain or heart activity, is a pretty good place to draw a line… totally fixes your slippery slope.

Uh no lol I don’t agree with those cases at all. They’re still people with feelings that should be respected. Once they’re dead that ceases to be the case. It’s not really that gray of an issue.
