Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

Ok so a third of people think voluntary assisted dying is wrong but two thirds of people think the death penalty is totally fine.

The fuck is wrong with people?

Alternate headline: "Americans objectively bad at morality across the board"

Bonus headline: "Don't spank it, hit your kids instead"

Pull spanking to 100% approval and we’d get ourselves in gear

It's the same with death as it is with milk and corpse pleasure. People think consensually drinking your partner's breast milk is wrong, but stealing a cow's breast milk is fine. People think eating an animal's corpse for some family friendly fun is absolutely fine, but having sex with the corpse of your friend who signed a consent waiver before death should be a crime.

Wait, they do? Why? What could possibly be wrong with that?

The idea of a consent waiver for post death sex is... A strange, uncomfortable thought. At the same time, I cannot really see any moral problem with that, per se. It's kind of in the same category of being in a relationship with a sibling with no intention of getting children. Strange, slightly uncomfortable to consider, but hard to see any actual moral problem with it.

I'm mostly asexual but I would sign a consent waiver to let a necrophile fuck My corpse if it were legal and if I knew any necrophiles.

I'm not convinced most necrophiles are as much into the whole consent thing.
