Explore the fascinating and opaque world of American necrophilia law, wherein human corpses and the rules that govern the use of dead bodies are uniquely positioned to cause, rather than ameliorate, legal problems since the dead body is a quasi-subject before the law. Dr. Troyer presents an argument about one of the fundamental reasons that this gap in American law exists and shows how the ambiguous legal standing of the human corpse in necrophilia cases compounds the sexual monstrousness of the necrophiliac and of necrophilic acts.
