Any physical object or piece of real estate (which is, strictly speaking, a physical object) is technically "property". Trash is property. Mud is property. It's just that sometimes it doesn't belong to someone per se. For example, you can't say "that's my corpse!" and point to a dead person, show that you legally purchased it, etc. Well, it may be possible for Ancient Egyptian mummies. How does Scottish law treat the ownership of ancient mummies?
On that "wrongful life" point, I can guarantee you it would fail in a US court. If I remember correctly, something like two thirds of Americans would limit abortions in some way or another.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

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.

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
