Is this not one of the most abominable and disgusting practices to be introduced by a Islamic-dominated parliament?

I just KNEW somebody would mention rigor mortis. That only affects muscles.

[TheNovice]

I'm not going to say it!!!!!!

[joggerjayne]

So the tongue would be okay ???

[TheNovice]

oh dear!!!!!!!

I just can't fathom this? So man comes home, finds his wife has just died and is totally distraught yet loves her so much that he wants to have sex with her. I just don't get it!

[boxtops]

AOG - I'm with you on this one.

[rowanwitch]

Seriously... I see very little difference between this and the husband of a patient in a persistant vegetative state who insisted it was his right to have sex with her. It goes against social taboos and probably a few health ones too but revolting as it sounds it doesn't actually cause harm to anyone...
It's like a lot of taboos... they arose out of a need to protect the population from disease or other dangers It's not like killing someone to have sex with their corpse which would cause actual harm....

OK devils advocate hat off now back to thinking nooooo yucky

[rowanwitch]

Sorry the patient in PVS bit should have been a separate paragraph in fact I think that would be far less acceptable

[Davethedog]

Well we have had the "Arab Spring" now to reap the harvest of the "Arab Summer"

[joggerjayne]

I agree, rowan.

It's a taboo thing.

Ignore the taboo element, and look at it from a new angle.

Person A wants to make love to his wife's body

Person B wants to put it in a box and set fire to it

Person C wants to bury is so that it rots and gets eaten

If you were a primitive tribe, starting from scratch, with no preconceived ideas of what was acceptable, which would be the more disrespectful?

I honestly think we need to wait a week or so for fullfact.org or dailymailwatch.com to analyze this story, because it seems...bonkers (no pun intended).

There may be a grain of truth in it, but I just scanned the story and thought, "This is hokum".

If in a week's time the story hasn't been trashed, then I will wholeheartedly agree with you...but right now...it sounds a bit...you know...

[rowanwitch]

Most sensible person D wants to cook and eat it

AOG, "deployable"? You thinking of hiring her out?

/// AOG, "deployable"? You thinking of hiring her out? ///

Yes all right, yet another spell-checker mistake, should have been 'deplorable'.

But don't go away before you explain to me who are you referring to by your use of the word 'HER'?

I am waiting.

Dead Boring if you ask me!

I applaud you for trying, but I cannot think of anything more horrible than having sex with a dead woman...

...except for having sex with Katie Price whilst she's still alive.

[rowanwitch]

SP1814 you have very little imagination then....

how about these for worse... A live child....an elderly lady ....anyone without their consent, an animal....

[mccfluff]

[ladybirder]
