Should there really be laws against....

[G.Irish]

bestiality and necrophilia? I mean, as long as it's not in public, and it's your pet, cow, horse, whatever, or your dead person, who's the victim? I mean, obviously we're dealing with a messed up person... but if we jail them for those crimes, maybe they'll just turn to rape or child molestation?

Well I think for animals it gets into animal cruelty but with dead people, well what really is the crime? I suppose since they're dead they can't give consent, but at the same time they're dead so they're not really a victim.

For necrophilia the thing is, where is this person getting these bodies. If they obtain dead bodies through perfectly legal means then I can't see why someone should go to jail for having, "relations". If they're helping people to get dead in order to have sex with them...

Chan and I had a discussion a long time back about which one was worse. I used to say bestiality, because you could have sex with a dead person by accident. You could be having sex, the other person dies, and you've now had sex with a dead person. But since necrophilia means someone who likes to have sex with dead people I'll have to agree that it is worse than bestiality.
