@Sylvia, why are you even following this thread if it disgusts you so much. Seems more attention seeking than abhorrence

When you die, you cease to exist as an autonomous moral agent. As a matter of tradition society tries to respect the wishes of the dead prior to their death but even this isn't always true - fights over inheritance for example. But a corpse is not a person, not legally and not morally. A person that doesn't exist cannot exercise autonomy over his or her body and therefore cannot give consent.
A child is also not capable of giving consent. The very reason that we have things like "age of consent" laws is that we know that a person needs to be of sufficient maturity and decisional capacity to understand the various implications of their choices including the risks and benefits thereof. Children are not able to give meaningful consent because they are by definition not mature adults.
So neither of your examples, are actually examples of consent.
