Not really sure what to put here…I usually put relevant excerpts, but that got this post deleted for doing that

    As another comment pointed out we don’t “utilize” humans after they have been murdered.

    Yes we do. Medical cadavers, organ donation, are the two most obvious ways.

    If you consider all animals as having a right to life you then wouldn’t consider their bodies as resources after they were murdered but instead as victims.

    I care about my own life, but not my lifeless body once I did.

      Medical cadavers and organ donors are, first of all, volunteers not raised for that purpose, and second of all, we do not view them as commodities. There are rituals of respect when working with medical cadavers. I have heard of the families of organ donors visiting the recipients in emotional meetings.

        Of course, but in the situation I gave. You aren’t the one doing that.
