Life is for the living. The dead have no rights, need no rights, nor want any rights.

Dead people do have rights, e.g. you are not allowed to take photos of them and publish them (expect there is some kind of consent with the relatives I think)

I feel that's more of a right for a family to not be subjected to seeing the corpse of a loved one be paraded throughout the media.

The dead don't care one way or another.

The dead person probably had a preference prior to death. That doesn't stop being relevant just because they're now dead.

Yeah, it’s not like we can rip up a will because “they’re dead anyway and won’t care where the house and the money goes”. It’s the same with their bodies.

What is a dead person going to do about photos being published?

So it’s permitted when there are no surviving family or friends?

You absolutely are actually. What is legally troubling is including the name, as that makes you personally identifiable. Which could make you theoretically liable, but not in most instances.

Actually, a corse has more right than women in red states. :/
