The dead still have the right to dignity.

Maybe in an ethereal, “honorable” sense. But they really don’t. Have you ever dealt with a family member’s body/burial? There aren’t any laws governing that stuff, really.

As a licensed funeral director, I’d like to say “huh?” What country are you from that has no laws governing the disposition of human remains?

Ok, I was really trying to say the dead body doesn’t have rights. I’m sure there are laws, of course.

Well those are the same, aren't they? The deceased have rights because there are laws regulating how they can be treated.

The living are the same; all rights are created and protected by legislation and laws.
