The main reason laws are made, is because the illegal offense hurts either the offender or the victim, or others around them. Take for example the use of illegal drugs. Those drugs are illegal because they are addictive and can kill a person. Most other illegal offenses are illegal because they hurt, whether it be emotionally or physically, or in other ways, such as stealing their possessions, another person. Necrophilia is no more dangerous than having sex with a living person. It does not affect anyone else. Therefore, I see no reason to make it illegal. I also see no reason to force people into going to counseling, because, like laws, most counseling are for things that can eventually hurt them, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, mental problems, etc.
