Swedish woman charged with having sex with a skeleton.

[Kleomentia]

Well, they already have legalized homosexual marriage... 'Mise as well legalize necrophilia, too.

You realize that the two are not even a little bit related, right? One is about two people getting married, and the other is about people using bodies as sex objects. One involves two people, one involves a person and an object.

Similar to marrying a dildo.

I'm not familiar with True Blood.



I have no problem with vampiric fellatio afficionados. My problem is with Twilight.

Watch it(True Blood), its much better and a hell of a lot less gay.

So it's not as happy as Twilight?

[Seperates]

Meh... I don't personally care. However, legally this comes down to one fundemental question.
Can the dead give consent?

A dead body is an object; consent is irrelevant. The real legal question is who owns the skeleton and who did she get it?

But a will exists, therefore the dead have some rights? Or are these just rights of the born living?

Not possible. You can't "marry" anything but a person. It's not on anybody's mind except crazy people who think there's some "sanctity of marriage" nonsense. It's a legal contract between two people, ergo only people can have it.

Indeed.

Anatomically speaking, huh? It doesn't have a penis.

It has other parts, i think thats enough. *perv face*

She should of got on of those fake skeletons that they use in schools to teach about bones.

1. We aren't ancient egyptians.
2. You are correct. And thus I could be brought to court on property charges (i.e. the use of property belonging to someone else (the next-of-kin of the deceased) without permission), but what I did isn't "just wrong." It's just illegal.

If it was up to me I wouldn't even bother with a statute of limitations over a next of kin's right regarding a body. I'd just say let them either sue for psychological trauma or financial loss (if they were using the bones to prop up a shelf for example).

However, when you ignore someone else's religious views even when they differ from your own, you should always have a good justification, or it's normal to feel a pang of guilt.

1. What psychological trauma? That of the dead person, who is DEAD and thus has no psyche to be traumatized? Or of the next of kin or similar family member, who's remains are A) not yet in existence (because they're still alive) and B) not being used for sexual acts?

2. Separation of church and state. It is a thing that was written into the Constitution because religious beliefs should have absolutely NO AFFECT WHATSOEVER upon the law. As such, respecting a persons religious beliefs doesn't play into it.

It's more of a guideline. You can sue for property not given to you in a will anyway. It's just a clarification of what you want to happen after your death, rather than a binding contract.

My point exactly. You cant marry an object. You shouldnt even be able to marry a being if its not a person. I surely wouldt want to see the pics of a wedding night between a man and goat.

All the good ones are either married or skeletons. Damn.

A dead body is an object; consent is irrelevant. The real legal question is who owns the skeleton and who did she get it?

But a will exists, therefore the dead have some rights? Or are these just rights of the born living?

Only the living have rights. Wills relate to the living in that they allot property to the living that used to belong to the dead. Also, you write your will when you are still alive, and thus, in full possession of your rights.

Edit: Also, wills are not binding contracts; they are a clarification of what you want to ahppen after your death.

Ah. Thanks for the explanation.

Or multiple objects...

Hmm... ok. So it seems that it is an American cultural thing...

Thats not the point. Legalizing such a thing, or even the soul existance bothers me. Can you seriously look me in the eyes nation flag and say you approve of that?

In your opinion, of course.

Thats not the point. Legalizing such a thing, or even the soul existance bothers me. Can you seriously look me in the eyes nation flag and say you approve of that?

I can. So long as it is consensual, I don't particularly see any issue. If the animal isn't abused, there is no issue. I myself do not like it, and there is a certain 'ick' factor involved, but that shouldn't dictate the legality of a certain thing.

That being said, this doesn't really have anything to do with the topic.

Define approve.
Am I in love with/desire an animal or object? No.
Do I really care if other people are? No.
The question here really is: Is the willingness to completely ignore a behave equivalent to approving of it, in this context?
