Outlaw Necrophilia

A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.

Category: Moral Decency

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Karmicaria

Description: The NationStates United Nations,

DEFINING necrophilia, for the purposes of this resolution, as any unauthorized sexual act, performed on a deceased individual,

DISTURBED by the occurrence of necrophilia within the member nations of the UN,

NOTING that a corpse is incapable of consent, and that such lack of consent is why rape is commonly considered an inappropriate act,

OBSERVING many cases of emotional damage to the families of deceased individuals in cases of necrophilia,

RECOMMENDS that member nations outlaw the desecration of corpses,

STRONGLY ENCOURAGES member nations to punish those guilty of corpse desecration to the fullest extent of the law, and,

We in Az-cz are unclear on how to vote on this proposal. While we are opposed to non-consensual intercourse involving one or more corpses, in cases where the deceased has written into their will that they give the right for their deceased corpse to have intercourse it ought to be legal. Although necrophilia is uncommon in Az-cz there are cases where married couples have put it in their wills that they can have sex with each other after one of the members of the couple has died. We belive that this is perfectly legal and acceptable. So long as this isn't banned by this proposal we have no problem with it.

It defines necrophilia as being unauthorized, so you're consensual necrophilia would probably be alright.

I say NAY, not because I support necrophilia, but more as a "Why the hell should the entire UN care about this?"

Luckily Vianor is classed as undead, rather than dead, so everything is rosy

Ban it, btw.

While part of me agrees with Geis on this one, I am more prone to go the route of banning it. Sure it seems a bit silly that they'd call for a ban on something like this when there are probably more important concerns, but I also find the act beyond horrid. So I gues, yeah, ban it.
