Abstract

Necrophilia is one of the most taboo segments of the psychopathological, but also of the legal, categories, whereat issues of acts against the (deceased) human body and its desecration, but also the phenomena of life and death per se, are coming to the fore. This paper seeks to contribute to the evaluation of certain problematic legal and (bio)ethical segments related to necrophilia, primarily by using a case law method, a formal-logical legal method, as well as the method of linguistic interpretation of law, as argumentative aids for the analysis of the criminal law regulation of necrophilia. Also, a bioethical sensibility will be implemented in the aforementioned discourse - the intentional subject attribute of integrative bioethics49, for the purpose of orientation and emphasis of the responsibility towards a person's life as the fundamental deontological paradigm of certain law procedures.
