It is considered taboo and illegal in many jurisdictions due to ethical, moral, and public health concerns. The subject has been studied from psychological, sociological, and legal perspectives, aiming to understand its underlying causes and implications for society. The practice is widely condemned due to its violation of consent, disrespect for the deceased, and potential harm to public health.
