On possession of human remains

Remove all ads!

If someone posessed a skull or thighbone, I wouldn't mind. I would be suspicious if he had 32 pieces of chess-men or a tiny totem pole made of it.
Along with a wardrobe full with human leather surcoats, dresses and lederhosen, preferably.

 

I don't really understand people who have bodyparts in their houses, too creepy for me.

This is a bit off topic: I found a dog skull near our house once -no idea how it had get there- , it wasn't all bone though, there was some flesh or something still on the back of it and worms eating it, nasty.

I personally wouldn't mind if somebody drank from my skull, that would be AWESOME

 

I really see no problem with keeping a skull as long as I didn't have any relation to the person it belonged to.

If people can mount their walls with the skull/head of a deer or moose I don't see why you can't decorate with a human skull? That would be a trophy to my liking

 

Heh. What's all the fuss about human body parts? Just keep the bones clean, intact and make sure to keep them off reach from the canines, and you're set to be the coolest person in town.

I personally wouldn't mind having my skeleton showcased in someone's house -- my spine as a coathanger, my skull as a mug and my arms as a backscratcher. Kinda gives you something to look for after you've turned the world upside down and bit the dust, eh?

 

Nothing wrong with it I guess, but I think if a relative of the person could be found, they have a right to decide on who gets it or what is done with it...granted it was 150 years old, but we have DNA testing and stuff. Although that may not have been practical in this case...

I'm not a big fan of remains, I get freaked out quite easily...but meh...people can do what they want
