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.

No and yes, because of the issue of consent.

Only people can provide consent. Corpses are not people, just rotting meat. *NM*

I suppose that's fair, but I wouldn't try selling it to the family.

You're confusing two separate issues.

I think the trauma to the familys could (and probably should) be considered criminal as well.

I thought the rights of next to kin were pretty generally recognized.

And I certainly don't think consensual incest should brand someone a sexual predator for life.

I'm afraid I'm struggling to see what your actual argument is.

My argument is that society has the right to say some things are just wrong
