No and depends snoopcester Send a noteboard - 12/01/2011 06:44:02 PM
Tim was going to ask this the other day (he's just had an exam for criminal law) but forgot so I have decided to do it for him.

1) Do you think (consensual) incest should be illegal? Please give your reason.


I think it should because I think there are real issues with the consent part of it - both in terms of grooming until that relative is old enough and a family member being better able to pressure them into consenting than they really want to.

2) What about necrophilia?


If the dead person gave legal consent while alive then fine. Nasty but fine.

Incest with children is outside the scope of the question posed. Tom - 12/01/2011 08:38:39 PM 396 Views

No and yes, because of the issue of consent. Joel - 12/01/2011 07:11:31 PM 381 Views
Only people can provide consent. Corpses are not people, just rotting meat. *NM* Tom - 12/01/2011 08:40:02 PM 170 Views
I suppose that's fair, but I wouldn't try selling it to the family. Joel - 12/01/2011 08:56:30 PM 404 Views
You're confusing two separate issues. Tom - 12/01/2011 09:01:55 PM 406 Views
I think the trauma to the familys could (and probably should) be considered criminal as well. Joel - 12/01/2011 09:07:57 PM 374 Views
How? Why? Tom - 12/01/2011 09:40:32 PM 411 Views
I thought the rights of next to kin were pretty generally recognized. Joel - 13/01/2011 09:54:39 PM 356 Views
And I certainly don't think consensual incest should brand someone a sexual predator for life. Joel - 12/01/2011 07:20:32 PM 443 Views

no to both random thoughts - 12/01/2011 09:43:28 PM 399 Views
I'm afraid I'm struggling to see what your actual argument is. Tim - 12/01/2011 11:14:29 PM 396 Views
My argument is that society has the right to say some things are just wrong random thoughts - 13/01/2011 12:12:01 AM 387 Views
