    If one is sick, what makes the other healthy?

    So far several arguments and positions have been put forth, most of them agreeing that something is very wrong with these people. Another person said that by justifying this act as a victimless one, necrophilia could likewise be justified. What is the consensus then? That these people are sick? And if these people are sick, why isn't the same standard applied to homosexuals? I realize the gut-reaction here is to leap to the defense of the homosexuals, but I'm not attacking them. I'm asking what the standard of mental/sexual health is and who sets it.
