Reply to comment by h3mip3nultim4te in Pitt students facing abuse of corpse charges for alleged class incident by WookieeSteakIsChewie

Dude, he was fingering the corpse and making lewd comments. It doesn't blur any lines.

If my wife goes in for an OB GYN appointment and the doctor starts trying to finger bang her, that's illegal. Just because he has permission to examine her vagina doesn't mean you're allowed to finger blast it.

Of course it blurs the line. The families here gave license for the use of these bodies that literally includes the actual acts here. That fact is not different because the acts were accompanied by lewd comments. Maybe that’s legally significant or maybe it’s not, but it’s a hell of a thing to take 2 years of someone’s life for.
Maybe I just care less about what happens to my body when I die, but this just seems like grossly disproportionate.

And again, imagine a law that says it’s an M2 to “treat people in a way that would offend ordinary sensibilities.” That kind of vagueness is just an open door for arbitrary and discriminatory law enforcement. “Don’t be awful” is a good enough personal code I guess, but it’s hardly a legal one built for our already trash legal system.
