[Re-edited] - Prevention of Necrophilia

[Simone]

The World Assembly (WA),

Anxious that engaging in sex acts with the dead body (hereafter, "corpse") of a sapient individual are of significant concerns to some WA states on many issues, such as the dignity of the deceased and the potential spread of diseases;

The WA hereby enacts as follows:

1. Prohibition.
   1. An inhabitant is defined as anyone who is physically in a WA state, or under the jurisdiction of a WA state, such as traveling on a ship under the flag of a WA state.
   2. An inhabitant that willfully, and knowingly, engages in a sex act with a corpse of any sapient species (hereafter, "necrophilia") commits an offence.
   3. An inhabitant that dismembers a corpse for the purpose of facilitating the act defined in sub-clause (2)(a) commits an offence.
   4. An inhabitant that abets or assists in the acts stated in sub-clauses (2)(a) and (2)(b) commits an offence.
2. Interpretation.
   1. The definition of a corpse excludes the death of a participant during a sex act, which shall be investigated in accordance with established procedures by coroners or other officers of that WA state.
   2. The interpretation of this resolution including all terms used herein, and any penalties for offences in clause (2), are the responsibilities of that WA state, subject to due process.
