So, cofty, do you agree that an Israelite who deliberately ate a dead animal violated the Mosaic law in doing so?

The Watchtower are Right About Blood...
by cofty in... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.

you asserted that deliberately doing things that causes uncleanness resulted in death. Burying a dead animal caused uncleanness.
Having sex with your wife resulted in uncleanness but was not forbidden. Eating dead animals was forbidden.
"You must not have sex with the wife of your fellow man, making yourself unclean" -. Lev 18:20

Still refusing to give a simple answer to a simple question
I already answered your question.
If an Israelite shepherd found one of his sheep that had died during the night would he be executed for burying it?
No

2 - Anyone who eats some of its carcass must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening.
The law indicates that eating "some of its carcass" ( dead sheep ) results in uncleanness but the law also forbade eating dead animals: "must not eat"
vs
There was no law against eating an animal found already dead as I proved with the quotes from Lev.11 and Lev.17. cofty

You say that it was forbidden to become unclean and deliberately doing so resulted in death. cofty
Leviticus 18
24‘Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for it is by all these things that the nations that I am driving out from before you have made themselves unclean. 25 Therefore, the land is unclean, and I will bring punishment on it for its error,

It was forbidden to become unclean.
Nonsense -Cofty
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them.." -Lev 18:2 ..... Lev 18:20,24,25 (resulted in uncleanness ) --- It was forbidden to become unclean: not only for the Kohenim but for everyone!
Burying a dead animal, having sex with your wife, results in uncleanness but was not forbidden. Eating a dead animal was forbidden: "..must not.."

Should Blood Transfusions be forced?
by Fisherman in1.there are times when a doctor decides that the only life saving medical treatment -short of a miracle- is a blood transfusion.
in such a case, what should be done when a person refuses treatment on religious grounds and why?.
2. should a person be allowed to "mutilate" his body and why?.

- Exodus 22:31
31 “You should prove yourselves holy people to me,+ and you must not eat the flesh of anything in the field that has been torn by a wild animal.+ You should throw it to the dogs.
- Deuteronomy 14:21
21 “You must not eat any animal that was found dead.+ You may give it to the foreign resident who is inside your cities,* and he may eat it, or it may be sold to a foreigner. For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God
It was forbidden.
