RE: Do you think "necrophilia" can be considered a legit sexual orientation?

Our society's witch-hunt attitude towards pedophiles astounds me. My great grandmother got married when she was 13, to an 18 year old man, and that was not considered abnormal. Treating all pedophiles as if they are completely and equally terrible monsters is the incorrect way to approach it. A 24 year old who has sex with a 16 year old is not the same as a man who kills a newborn baby while raping it.
Regarding necrophilia, if a person's will included some provision to have their dead body used, by another person, for sexual gratification, I don't see why it's any of my business.
My thoughts on sexual practices (and marriage) ultimately boil down to legal consent. Two or more consenting adults can do whatever the hell they want with one another. I recognize that the age of consent is entirely arbitrary and based upon nothing in particular, but as I can think of no better way to determine suitability, I don't know that it should be changed.
