After enough years of artificial insemination people will think sex is gross and fucked up (well if it's done right). Ahem

It's just what were used to. Ever been in an old Brooklyn brownstone and wonder what those little naves in the walls of the staircases are for? It so a casket can make the turn on the way out of the house. Funerals in homes were common. Death was common, hell it's popular! It's nationwide.

Waking the dead is important for the living. Labrat is right, the kids will get over it a lot faster than you.

What is creepy is that it is a simulacrum of home, rather than in a real home. What is ironic is that in trying to distance one's self from death, the comfort increases as the distance decreases.
