Well bless their little socialist souls.

Of cource I’d prefer scientific methods be used to unearth all historically significant finds anywhere.

Do you see a difference between a comb found in the soil and a human skeleton found in a casket? Would it ever occur to you to dismember the remains of a woman found in her grave, just to satisfy your curiosity? Can you imagine your grandparents approving the violation of anyone’s final resting place, to satisfy the idle curiosity of strangers who ignore the sanctity of life and death?

Well, well! Looks like we've had a copyright infringement on our hands all these long years!

Do you think all autopsies are immoral? How about forensic examinations of bodies for crime investigations. How about the things morticians do to bodies?

Is it immoral for medical students to dissect human cadavers?

If you can’t defend the practice we’re talking about, just try to deflect it to other completely unrelated practices.

I don’t know why a long established and respected science needs to be defended. And since the subject is the acceptable treatment of dead bodies my question about your opinion of other treatments of dead bodies is right on topic.

But apparently you have nothing to add beyond your personal opinion that archeology is icky and archaeologists are icky people. Okey dokey.
