Necrophilia should be legalized

1: Before I began dismantling your arguments, I believe it might be best to look at the positive aspects of necrophilia, more specifically, their "societal benefits." It could possibly lower the high sex crime rate. According to the American Psychological Association, Men rape for 5 reasons. They are, and I'm quoting: " (1) disadvantaged men who resort to rape, (2) "specialized" rapists who are sexually aroused by violent sex, (3) men who rape opportunistically, (4) high-mating-effort men who are dominant and often psychopathic, and (5) partner rapists motivated by assessments of increased risk of sperm competition." Necrophilia could conceivably cut down on all but number 4 and 5. The "Disadvantaged Men" are described as being physically undesirable, and so resort to rape as they cannot obtain mates through normal means. Necrophilia could help them by providing an outlet to satisfy this need, while the innocent living people do not have to suffer the emotional trauma that comes with being raped. As for those turned on by the act of violent sex, well just give them a human carcass and let their fantasies run wild. Honestly it may sound a little sick, but wouldn't you rather it be a dead body than some innocent, living boy or girl? And finally "men who rape opportunistically" Basically men who try to get with receptive women, are rejected, and then resort to rape. Well, there is no woman more guaranteed to be sexually receptive than a dead one. Your statement in summary, says that necrophilia should be illegal because it offends/disrespects families and is "wildly unpopular". I say that that necrophilia has the potential to protect families from more serious trauma, and maybe, just maybe, save a life. 2 and 3. "Disposal of human bodies is done primarily for sanitation reasons." Alright, so maybe trashing human bodies is our janitorial responsibility. But even so, I never suggested that we totally disrupt this process. The majority of bodies would still be buried. In my original post, I suggested a fourth option alongside the traditional ones. That was that someone could willingly leave their body to be the object of someone else's love. (And yes, even fantasy.) Health issues could be met here. Perhaps they could even create a necrophiliac brothel, where bodies could be cleaned up to certain sanitation standards, kept in cold storage, etc. This also ties into your third section, where you mentioned possibly property violation. Those laws would not be undermined. But those guilty would only be charged with property damage and not necrophilia. 4. "And combination with the offense it would bring, the unhealthy conditions and the problem with consent and the pure hedonistic nature of the act I say it should remain criminal." This was mere redundancy here. You retreat back to your offense and sanitation assertion from above. 5. "While donating a body to science benefits the masses, burying a person benefits the family and friends of the dead while necrophilia fuels only a short period of sexual desire." You claim I conceded this point to you, (I didn't, I merely pointed out that I was suggesting it be kept with the other alternatives INCLUDING donating to science. I also mentioned how burying bodies was just as ineffectual as to society as necrophilia.) As I have mentioned, their are possible benefits to it, and it is not purely to please a single individual.
