Ok, what if the dead chicken is a dead person? What do you guys think about that one?

There's a swedish philosopher (controversial needless to say) who wants Sweden to abolish the law against this act (ie sex with dead persons) as nobody is hurt by it...

Professor Tännsjö, I assume?

Besides, I find the idea of having sex with a frozen person revolting. Not only will you get frostbite, they may also shatter to pieces if you get rough on them

We have the same kind of dilemma if we change the pet by a person (dead in the same way, etc).
Yep. is disgusting, make me sick, and I don't want to see it (well, that part about the chicken, maybe... ).

But morally wrong? I don't see why.

Morally wrong It is. From what i have learned in morals is that you embrace them by the society around you. As to date I have not heard of a society that has accepted this practice anywhere. The Mentally defecient (Ill) for me doesnt count as a society but rather then a group in a society.

Some of these questions are quite stupid. "Suppose you learn about two foreign countries. In one country, it is normal for a son to break a death-bed promise to his mother to visit her grave every week." ect...

QFT. That's when I quit the test.

My apologies, Mrs. Tuberski, if I offended you.
You right when you define moral by the society around us. But is exactly what I'm saying... It's very relative.
Btw, ritualistic cannibalism IS a very common thing.
From a cosmic point of view, the "two foreign countries" thing makes some sense, after all.

[Provost Harrison]

Facot?

[Gibsie]
