Necrophilia: Abuse Of The Dead

"The dead are ever refashioned, for they have no defence against those who would use or abuse them - who they were, what their deeds meant."

"By Necrophilia is meant love for all that is violent and destruction; the desire to kill; the worship of force; attraction to death, to suicide, to sadism; the desire to transform the organic into the inorganic by means of "order." The Necrophile, lacking the necessary qualities to create, in his impotence finds it easy to destroy because for him it serves only one quality: Force."

-Erich Fromm (Credo 1965)

Grace does an expose' on abuse of a corpse -"Corpse love." A deviant sexual practice involving attraction to a corpse, defined as 'necrophilism' or 'necrolagnia.' A necrophiliac is a person who derives sexual pleasure from having sex with a dead body. It usually arises, from an intense fear of interacting. Corpses cannot reject, manipulate, disagree. A necrophagist is someone who derives sexual pleasure from eating dead bodies or certain parts of them. The Greek historian Herodotus, (c. 484-425 BC)wrote of how the ancient Egyptians safeguarded the deceased from the practice of necrophilia (The Histories, Penguin Books, 1972, p.161). At least one Greek mythology contain hints of necrophilia perpetrated by Achilles. In that 2nd century account, a fellow soldier says, Achilles "fell in love with the Amazon, Penthesilia, after her death" as he stood over her corpse (Apollodorus, Library Epitome, trans. by Frazer, J., book E, ch.5, ss 1). The Bible contains principles that clearly marks it as 'a sin.' The Mosaic law specified that touching a dead body made a person unclean ( Numbers 19: 11-16).
