I cannot fucking believe I’m going to participate here…
… but when you’re talking to someone about organ donation, you’d typically say something like “You can’t take them with you. That isn’t you anymore. You’re dead. It’s just meat now.”
… and that’s as much as I’m going to say because gross
But this is actually why we decide whether or not we participate in postmortem organ donation while we’re alive - we make the conscious decision ahead of time. Which is still then consistent with the consent argument
If someone writes in their will that their dick shall be made into a dildo so that their partner can keep having sex with them, they can do that.
I find it gross, but not immoral.
Weird from a cultural perspective where any sort of non-medical interference with a corpse is frowned upon, so we’re trained from a very young age to find any of that stuff icky/morbid. Other cultures may not have that same aversion.
Kinda in the same vein as we in North America have a very conservative opinion on being naked in public where other cultures couldn’t care less.
What I’m asking is if a person who wants to and does have sex with corpses, knowing that this is socially profane and must be kept secret, is this a trustable person?
Also, respect for the dead often involves rituals that are non-medical. I think disease obviously played a part in how these rituals were formed, but I don’t think that disease is the primary reason people care.

So then if I consent to someone fucking my corpse after I’m gone, it becomes morally OK for them to do it.

Pretty sure you can’t. I’d bet that most countries have specific laws against owing human body parts.
Well yea I guess if I go tell shawty she can ride my hog after I get the death erection and she does it I can’t really be mad at her can I
I don’t even know how to approach that but you do you I suppose
With regard to the corpse, maybe.
There’s possibly a virtue ethics argument against the person doing it? Like, it’s a little weird that they want to, right?

I’m already a moral relativist.
