The Humakti don't care, but they did before they became Humakti, which is why they underwent the kinship severance.
I also agree with Martin Laurie, in that some Humakti are more dead than others. The 'death' in the Initiation is mostly symbolic, allowing the initiate to consider himself severed from kinship ties, and thus do whatever is necessary in the service of death without fear of the repercussions. Acolytes are fairly dead, Swords are almost entirely dead, and that's about as dead as you can get and still walk around. Of course, the Lunars say that this is all symbolic, and punish the families anyway, on the off chance that someone shops the Humakti. However, they know a lot about Humakt, and have worked out a resurrection/reincarnation ritual that brings the Humakti back to life as a YT worshipper. Voluntarily, of course. Or so they say.
