Comment on Are shrunken heads a rights violation?

If we consider post-mortem rights to matter morally
They don’t.
In other words someone’s bodily autonomy extends into death
They don’t. Once you are dead your body is no longer yours. It’s just a large lump of decaying and rotting meat. It has less value than a dead deer because we can actually eat the deer.

Pretty sure possession of the body is supposed to pass to family. Honestly I don’t see much of a difference here between shinking heads and something more traditional like cremation, but the big factor at play here is consent. Obvs trophies and shit are bad juujuu but the actual practice isn’t really the issue imo.
