How do you feel when you see a picture of (human) corpses?

I disagree that they aren't people anymore. They aren't living people anymore but until their bodies have disintegrated to the point that none of the molecules hang together at all, they are still people, albeit dead. And as such, they deserve to have their remains treated and regarded with respect, not as objects of amusement or entertainment.

Pictures of real human corpses, insides strew about, beheadings, other executions and it seems to not phase me in that there is no feeling sick or emotional trigger.
If you watch the PETA undercover videos (they are all real just to be clear), this might be a possible additional test for you. Watching these also do not trigger emotional responses. No "emotional" response, however, the people in those videos lost the social contract protection that helps me exist in society due to how overly amoral I can be; executing them would be done if allowed.
I have no desire to explain that beyond simply saying those who torture humans or non-human animals should be terminated. They are damaged and there is no shortage of people willing to take their place.

I said no emotional effect, well, there has been one incident. When I was more focused on some local eco restoration/informing about factory farming (it's insane how much harm it causes), it's possible I would provide some or all of the footage from PETA and other relevant material. The video footage is fairly brutal and about every week or every other week I would watch it again simply because I need to honestly say I have seen what I direct them towards.

Okay, finally!

One time I had it on and I started to feel almost dizzy (just about, but it leveled off), my skin began feeling colder and I started to perspire. My stomach was twisting and there is nothing else to explain all of that except the video.
Regardless if I have AS, there appears to be something that is beyond my current levels of research on the brain to guess beyond a guess. Perhaps a spike in one of the neurotransmitters/hormones to reach connectivity that at base levels, it can't extend that far.
This kind of anomaly has happened in other aspects as well, but it's very rare. Ah yes, that reminds me of the time unloading trucks at a warehouse job. I stopped thinking and sliced towards me with a box cutter (razor blade housed in a rectangle sheath in case you don't use that term) to open the cardboard box. There was a nice slice through the cardboard top edge, with the bonus that my thumb was along the path and it seems thumbs lose against razor blades.

This all occurring within 3-4 seconds, I drew my thumb up and turned it to see if it did more than scratch me bad. It was rather deep and blood was coming out fast enough that I would feel correct saying it was pouring out, 2-3 seconds later, my eyes are open and I am 1/2 a second from slamming into the group on my back --- The audio player I had on rocketed away from me on impact (i.e. it was not fall back to a soft cushion) as it was clipped behind me at the waist.

It was interesting to see a pooling of my own blood and it's so richly red! All went fine with that and because god was protecting me (haha JK there isn't a god), I landed just in a way that my poor brain didn't find out what kinetic energy transfer would do to it from that distance in my brain pan.
The response to blood wouldn't mean much of anything, except I have see far worse wounds on me, flesh gouged along the arm and leg, all with plenty of blood and a few times being able to feel my heartbeat through the wound or blood gushes.


How does this all tie together?
First to ensure I answered this:

Doesn't phase me and I have see enough to not need more examples for storage in memory.

One day I will direct my focus on this and see if of course first that it's already common knowledge to nonlaypersons and if it isn't, see if it can be discovered, explained and used if possible. Nothing like a willing guinea pig that will do nearly anything to understand itself.
