8. Why should gory deaths bother us if we know the person whom has died, does not feel it? Or is it just that we are putting ourselves in their shoes?

Gory deaths imply pain. A vast majority of people, as a result of survival instincts, would feel averse to pain. It's not so much the shoes, as... the nerves, and how attached we are to keeping a certain amount of blood inside our veins, and how attached we are to our tendons (and, hopefully, how attached tendons and ligaments will be to us), and the wholeness of our bones.

Time is fluid, in our minds. The dead person doesn't feel it anymore, but to see the result sparks some awfully horrific imaginings of what they must have gone through at the moment of death.

9. What do you think about ancient egyptian mummification? According to myth, they didn't think they were preserving their bodies for the underworld, but instead, to be able to come back to life some day. Possible? Impossible?

Oh, the previous question could be a carry-over from funeral rites as well. Mummification might appear to be a gory process, but that was a preservation ritual. Ancient Greeks also believed the physical body should be whole, or else in the afterlife you would continue to experience being similarly damaged.

I wouldn't say any of that is impossible, but, I think these were just ways that the living wanted to honor and make sense of death. Death itself remains quite mysterious, for the most part.

10. Is there spiritual background to those who have sexual attractions to the dead?

Sure, why not. Maybe not all necrophiles, but I wouldn't say that it never happens.

11. Lastly, if bodies are such perfect creations, (and they are undoubtfully if you study anatomy) then why do we have to void our bowels all the time, among other disgusting and annoying things?

Those disgusting annoying things are part of the perfection.

Or else they aren't, in which case the study of anatomy and attribution of perfect creations is thrown into doubt.

And ultimately, if they are so amazing, why would we not take them with us after we die? Why are they just left to rot?

The rotting is part of the perfection: not perfection isolated to the body, but the perfect process as part of the world.
