Vortex--in the case of the corpse, is there a partner?
the corpse would be the "partner" in this case.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I get the intent...it just seems weird to deem something inanimate a partner. And certainly to equate its rights with mine--I'm assuming that in states where necrophilia is illegal, the penalties are lower than for rape of a living person.

Most states have laws against necrophilia, those that don't could use sexual assault laws written broadly.

Well, not Wisconsin.
But my entire point is: a corpse's rights and mine equated? The hell?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm leaving the office soon, but don't think of the criminal law as enforcing your rights, think of it as enforcing the right of the state (which I know you will question). The state sees its interest as including not fucking with corpses. This is in a similar realm as enforcing wills-- you're dead, what do you care?
ETA: In a murder case the state is also not interested in your "right" not to be murdered, it is interested in preventing murder, among other things.

Okay, so then the lawyer intended the state to admit sees it comparably against its interests for you to be raped as for someone's corpse to be boned?
I can see that as a wish, just not as a plan.
This is in a similar realm as enforcing wills-- you're dead, what do you care?
I kinda disagree, but I don't have much energy to follow it up with anything much. Same realm, perhaps, but same degree? At least with a will you know what the deceeased cared enough to stipulate.
Sad but reasonable reaction to transplant.

To tell you the truth I'm still confused after reading these - but it is a little more informed confusion.

I don't entirely understand this sentence, but just because the remedy is the same does not mean the interest is.
