As for consent about the post-mortal use of a body: well, why not? Actually, I don't think that would matter so much, because - frankly - you're dead and it's a bit late. It's for similar reasons that I don't think you should have to give consent for your organs to be taken for transplantation: you're not using them any more, so it's nothing to do with you.

But I meant 'healthy' as in, if you eat bad meat, you'll get ill. You get a 'yuck' reaction there. If you smell that your milk's off, you don't drink it.
