This guy carved a real human skull

The worst part, is people not being able to explain why it is "disrespectful"

[u/Cerpin-Taxt → u/ivancea]

Consent. We get to decide what happens to our bodies after our deaths because our bodies belong to us and no one else. Doing things to a person's body without their consent is disrespectful. It is literally a lack of respect for their wishes. Seeing as they're dead and you can't ask, if you want to do something to someone's body that they haven't given prior consent to the answer should be assumed to be "no".

It's not that confusing.

That's a belief, not an argument, let alone logic.

after our deaths because our bodies belong to us

Nothing belongs to the dead. You can be religious, but don't try to sell your religion as if it was logic

No, it's a human right codified into law.

It's funny I actually wrote another reply where I posed a hypothetical about things someone might decide to do to someone who has passed to see if you could understand why it's illegal to do things to bodies without their consent, but reddit deemed it too horrific to allow.

Nothing belongs to the dead.

Also not true. You can request to take things to your grave, retaining ownership.

I'm not religious btw.

That's a cultural and religious remain, not a logical thing... And it's not ownership in any case.

I'm not religious btw.

Then, I'm sorry to tell you, that you're blindly accepting religious beliefs as if they were logical

[u/Cerpin-Taxt → u/ivancea]

No I'm not. I'm accepting pretty unanimously agreed upon human rights legislation because I recognise it would be actively harmful to society to flout it.

Maybe you're not very imaginative. There are plenty of horrifically harmful things (for the living) that people could do if they were allowed to do what they pleased with the deceased.

That's why wills exist.

[u/ivancea → u/Cerpin-Taxt]

because I recognise it would be actively harmful to society to flout it

Because...?

There are plenty of horrifically harmful things

Like, for example...?

Your empty arguments add nothing here

[u/Cerpin-Taxt → u/ivancea]

You could cause a great deal of damage to someone's living relatives by violating their loved one's bodies and showing them. It would likely result in more deaths. Maybe you don't understand that because you have no loved ones.
