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

      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.

        Pretty sure you can’t. I’d bet that most countries have specific laws against owing human body parts.

      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?

        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.

          I’m already a moral relativist.

          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.
