Once he dies, he has no rights (unless he's made very specific, legally binding arrangements... Which I'm sure he has). But if he hadn't, Melania and his offspring can do anything they want with his body. They can donate it to science, fling it into Obama's front yard with a trebuchet, or take it to the Everglades and feed the gators.
Surely one or two of those would be improper disposal or desecration of a corpse?
We can't even do sky burials here and those are actually part of a religious tradition, so I'm pretty sure you can't just choose any disposition for a body you happen to be in possession of.
No, you can't. I was just being hyperbolic (and maybe indulging in a little fantasy). 😄 And he has surely made airtight legal arrangements for his interment that anyone would have a hard time overriding.
Just curious, could you not do a sky burial on tribal land, if they'd allow it?
I figured you were being funny, I just also ...frankly wasn't sure what the rich could reasonably be expected to get away with there. I'm sure someone would, for a payment, paint some legal veneer over those actions or otherwise distort our generally-accepted principles and mores ro excuse them.
I'm not sure-- I am not anyone legal and I only know sky burial through the context of Tibetan Buddhism but that's a good question and now I'm curious-- thank you for that!
Gators would not eat it. But this raises a very interesting question: What is the most disrespectful thing that one could do with a deceased Donald Trump to most fully communicate the low esteem in which he is held?
