Violent Pornography - poll

Okay, I've set this so anybody can vote, but nobody can see who voted for what. Feel free to link both this post and the one before it which explains the options.

TO CLARIFY: do not tick your personal likes/dislikes here - tick the things you think should be banned from being shown/described in any kind of pornography.

Another clarification: assume consent of all performers. I think it's safe to assume that everyone likely to be reading this agrees on the issue of consensuality (if you don't, feel free to explain why in a comment - anon if you prefer). This would include a pre-death release form signed by the corpse, in the case of necrophilia. You can decide your own definition of 'consenting' for an animal for purposes of voting on bestiality (please see my reply to [livejournal.com profile] libellum below).


[Poll #604149]

No, I'm thinking that even if it WERE legal, CAN you assert consent postmortally?


The more I think about the things you can offer medical science in the way of using your corpse...

"if they have acquired different attributes by virtue of the application of skill, such as dissection or preservation techniques for exhibition or teaching purposes" , though... you may be able to with PART of a body, if it's been preserved.

Y'know, I'm not sure I even want to START thinking about this....

It wouldn't suprise me if someone (in america) started offering to preserve parts of dead loved ones. :p

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_Act_of_1832 : - "The Act was repealed by the Anatomy Act 1984 which was, in turn, repealed by Human Tissue Act 2004. Access to corpses for the use of medical science in the UK is now regulated by the Human Tissue Authority."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Tissue_Authority : - It came into being on April 1, 2005 and its statutory functions begin on April 1, 2006. As of 2005, the authority is chaired by Baroness Hayman.
