Zombies feel pain. Change my mind.

[Panacea]

They obviously feel pain as evidenced by the fact that they cry out or groan every time you hit them. We need to start a humanitarian effort. There aught to be some kind of law against the abuse and torture of zombies. Would anybody be interested in purchasing some cruelty free zombie traps?

They SHOULD feel pain... they ate your parents after all.

That doesn't justify inhumane treatment.

I don't know if this is a serious post, or just a joke, but...

Sometimes I feel sorry for the nurse zombie. She just seems so sad slowly walking around. I do put a bullet in her head to end her misery.

If they are not alive, then why do they groan and scream when you hit them? Why do they hold their heads when you shoot them with an arrow? If they are not alive, then HOW CAN THEY FEEL PAIN? And if they can feel pain, what if they can feel love? Whoa...

somebody has a zombie stripper in their basement. Chained up they even devised a rig that allow them to change it up.

the first prototype was a mess it ripped the leg off the first test subject.

While the lore of this game is few and far between we have seen evidence that these zombies are the virus sort, not the basic walking corpse.
They have some basic level of memory and thoughts, seen in the way that they are attracted to high levels of activity done by the players as they recognise these areas as places you can find living people. It is also assumed this is why you find them wandering about (before they died they were looking for something, so once dead they just keep "looking") and taking cover in buildings (as this was likely what they were trying to do in life).

We also know they can still bleed and doing so leads to them taking more damage the same way it does for us.
So we can assume that their bodies do still function in some way even if the higher brain functions are long dead.
So I would agree that they could well still possess some sense of feeling from a, at least partially, working nervous system and as such still be able to feel pain in one way or another.

Oh, wait.
You wanted me to change you mind....?
Crap.

As to laws? They are trying to kill you so everything you do basically counts as self defense.
And it's not like they can't see the traps, so really it's their own fault if they want to walk into something that can do damage to them.

I dunno, I'm using an axe to hack through the door of their house, then I freak out and shoot them when they come stumbling out of their closet. (Who Am i to judge, maybe they are recording audio for their youtube channel in there)

Then I go wandering around the town looking for more houses to break into. I think they are the ones defending themselves.

Those buildings were built by humans for humans, not zombies. Most of them are just squatters with even less rights to those buildings than you have.

Besides, when a person dies they can no longer legally own anything, so if they were the original owners that right died with them. All property and possession move on to the next of kin, or failing that the ruling body.
But as there are now no known ruling bodies of any sort left this simply means the buildings (and all contents therein) are ownerless. So are free for the taking.
And while we have established that the body of a zombie may well be alive, the higher brain functions are indeed long dead and as such so is the person whom that body used to be.

Besides, they are still trying to eat you. If someone brakes into you home you are within your rights to defend yourself (unless you live in the USA, then you're about to loose the house when you thief sues you for mental trauma of the mean things you said to them) but if you try to eat that intruder they are then well within their rights to fight you off.

Except that in the above example you never had any rights in the first place, because you are a zombie and as such never owned the building the other person walked into.

We need to give zombies their own individual rights and freedoms

I 100% support this idea.

That way I can spend the rest of my life arguing against its existence, which is what I imagine heaven is like.

As long as there are two people on earth, someone is going to be trolled by someone.

I dunno, I'm not sure if blowing a womans head off then teabagging her corpse counts as self defense...even if she tried to bite you.
