Resurection/body shop

The recent comment on the digest has got me thinking. Given that after few days the body has decomposed so much that it isn't worth resurecting. Wouldn't it be better (if this is possible) to capture the spirit (as hangs around the body for seven days before fading into the otherworld) and bind it into an animal or into a freshly sacrificed body.

>From a moral point of view this would raise no problems for a chaotic/evil
cult (see Thanatar). As for other cults thats arguable but parts of the lunar empire would practice it.

This kind of practice could lead to high ranking people becoming practically immortal, imagine when your body starts to get old sacrifice a war prisoner/criminal/slave and hay-presto you've got a healthly young body.

comments?
