Live bodies are less unnerving than dead bodies.

At least under most circumstances.


Which is kind of weird if you really start to think about it. Dead bodies can be complicated, but they're just a fact. A pile of protein, fat, calcium, water, etc. They just sit there providing food to all the recyclers of the chain. It's the live bodies that you gotta watch out for, because they re the ones who do irrational, inconvenient, possibly dangerous things. Similar to the way in which a volcano is more exciting than a hill.
