I didn't see this in a search but it made me go [Eek!]

I hope it's ok to post as I don't think it's controversial, just [Eek!]

No, Poe can't live in California. He's dead, you know.

But now he could safely rest in California.

Um... I know it's sick and all.. but eight YEARS?? That's really really steep for a basically victimless crime. Rapists get only, what, 5 years or so?

Honestly, I have a few thoughts about the constitutionality of this law.

Did this law in fact give RIGHTS to a corpse?

That could have HUGE ramifications on other RIGHTS.

If not, then what is the classification of a corpse that gives it a status other than "property".

I could see if when a person dies, their corpse becomes an item of "property" ownded by their family/relatives.

But what if that person is homeless or has no kin?

What is to say that a man/woman having sex with a rubber blow up doll is ok, but having sex with a dead corpse is not?

Just some interesting thoughts to ponder.
