If you want to argue from an objective place than sure. But laws aren't based on objective rights or wrongs. They're based on whatever people feel is right or wrong, and most people feel that necrophilia is wrong. Welcome to the real world, where technicalities won't get you laid.

Just about every religion on earth generally has some kind of rule or taboo about defiling the dead.

Throughout human history, defiling a dead body or otherwise burying a grave has long been considered a very serious offense.

Furthermore, sex with a dead person serves no biological function, and there's no evidence of a biological draw to do so - it's all psychological. As such, any sexual gratification from dead bodies would be seen as a serious mental disorder (and generally is).

So while the dead body itself generally doesn't care, it's in the interests of families, the sanctity and dignity of the dead, and the prurient interest of the community both local and at large to make sure people don't go around fucking corpses.

To be fair, the post specifically responded to the question of why you can't put "necrophiliac friendly" on your ID.

There's a couple of obvious reasons that I figured weren't necessary to mention, but apparently this is 4chan and being pedantic is a requirement. So:

1) Once a person is dead, their last will and testament is the primary source of material for determining what can happen to them.
2) Second to that, the family gets to decide.
3) If neither case is permissible, then standard law applies, and standard law precludes necrophilia.

Since necrophilia is currently a crime, you can't give someone permission to commit that crime, since by definition a dead body can't consent to sex.

While it would be a pretty amusing Law & Order episode, there is no legal basis for giving some the right to defile your body sexually after death. Technically speaking, you don't really have the right to give someone else that right.

This may come as a shock to you, but I certainly care what happens to my body after death.

I've got family members, friends, and other people who also care about me, and I'd like them to understand that should they die before me, I would see that their bodies are properly respected as per custom.

If someone spent his entire life believing that red is a color for evil, it would be a real violation against the spirit of his memory to put him a red coffin. I would rather see respect for the dead by honoring those sorts of wishes.

And I imagine most people do not wish to have their bodies used as sexual gratification for weird perverts.

Its a question of what the government ought to do. To the milquetoast secular modern, the government only acts to protect property and the secruity of person. If however, the purpose of the government is to innoculate virtuous citizenry, then sex laws, drug laws, are all legitimate.

I'm willing to venture it's because the majority of people are naturally repulsed by rotten things in addition to the fact that we still extend our affections to the dead out of love and it would be traumatic. Yes, there's an eww and evil confusion, but I'm willing to let the law stand unchallenged because of the beauty of the second sentiment. Sure, my argument, or the sentiments I'm arguing for for that matter, aren't entirely rational -- but we're not purely rational beings. Sure, there are cases were fucking a corpse wouldn't be traumatic to the family of the person, but there's always the chance for mistakes, and better we deny a small slice of the population for one of the nobler common traits.

Move to Wisconsin, OP:

http://www.huliq.com/34426/us-states-lack-laws-explicitly-outlawing-necrophilia

In other words, it's one of those things that was considered so rare---like lesbianism in Victorian England---that in many places specific laws were never placed on the books.

The problem here is that necrophilia---like the music of Schoenberg or libertarianism---is never going to be anything other than a minority taste: the average person will never view it with anything other than bewilderment and disgust.

It's not the only nonsensical legal issue related to death, though. In most jurisdictions suicide is still on the books as a felony that you can never be prosecuted for if you're successful in committing it.

You ask why we honor our dead not just in spirit but also in their physical remains (meaning that those should not be harmed)?

Even in the earliest forms of society people had a cult about the deceased (usually those of their own kin), probably the first religion came from it. It probably is also a root of monogamy in so far that people needed to be certain of their lineage (which you can not be sure about in polygamy, at least from the fathers side). Dishonoring the dead (especially in times of conflict) happened fairly often, but only to hurt the fallen enemies and their families even more. See the tragedy of Antigone for example. Mutilation meant that those people were also mutilated in their afterlife. Inproper burial doomed the souls of the deceased. Sexual intercourse with fallen enemies happend on ancient battle fields far more often than even back then society would and could admit. It was a form of fetishizing the fallen opponent and the victory over him. Genitalia were cut off for trophy.

Necrophilia, besides being a mental condition and unhygienic, means dishonoring the dead. People don't react well to that.
