This may have been said before, and may seem a bit odd at first, but i assure you it makes sense.
I dont really need to explain the idea, it kind of goes without saying.
But the purpose is;

Say you wanted a trophy.
You could cut off the head, hand, ear, finger, anything you chose.
Or for the more malign types, you could cut open bodies and take things out...
Or you could just stab your sword into someones dead body, and leave it jammed into them.
You could also impale people on spears with this method. (To the ground that is)
And if you could grab bodies, you could drag them around as well, albeit this would be a touch redundant.
But more importantly, when things die now, they drop all their items. My idea is that items stay attached, and you can remove them by grabbing and interacting, or by 'g'ing them, kind of like when theyre alive, and your standing over them with a dropped item nearby.

Need i say any more?

Why not the planned butcher command?

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

Why not the planned butcher command?

Because there's no kill like overkill.
After all, isn't it fun stabbing an elf corpse in the eye after he took yours out?
An eye for a dead elf corpse(And maybe the eye)

[FallingWhale]

That makes them meat.

Ear collecting would be safer.

Exactly - This isnt so much butchering as much as what it is being able to continue to harm someones body after theyre dead, as if they were still alive. Thered be less blood, but the capabilites would be substancial.

[IT 000]

I am all for this idea.

However

ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_SAME_RACE:
ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_SAPIENT:
ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_ANIMAL:

tags will affect it. This means only humans and goblins can do it. (Dwarves can do this on animals though)

And Elves will still be able to impale the bodies etc.

I'd like to see this take effect in Fortress mode too. Perhaps a setting for your military dwarves on the severity of their kills. Maybe the more gruesome their comrades' deaths in a siege, the more likely they'll try to flee. Even better, mounting elf heads on pikes outside the trade depot so that every time they show up for trade they scream like little girls and go running for the hills!

"defacing corpses" is somewhat planned.  I expect it to arrive with army arc, but I have no proof for this.  This includes impaling bodies, hanging from trees, and hanging from ropes.  Having a creature on a chain, and dropping it off a wall will cause suffocation and leave the body hanging.  It will in the future, at least, it won't right now.

That would certainly make my... This idea has probably been voiced before, just maybe not on here, so ill say, My opinion that i suggested; Would make alot more sense after doing that to someone.

[Footkerchief]

I suggested this a while back.

Actually, [ABUSE_BODIES] might be more appropriate.

[sockless]

Unthinkable is the only ethic that should have any effect on adventurers. All the rest just depend on who's around to see it.

Figures.
In my Search bar using i never really thought to type Post-Mortem though

[Bohandas]

I like this idea because I think it would be funny to be able to beat a dead horse...
