Hell, I used to have a couple of PC's in a dark street-level campaign that
would not only loot a corpse for weapons & gear, but also take the body
with them & hack it up later for 2nd-hand cyberware & black market organs.
I had no problem with it, given that it fit with the theme I was running at
the time. Just keep in mind that it takes a lot of time, equipment and
privacy to fully & properly harvest a human corpse.

I have no idea about their predilections and tendencies toward the Game
That Shall Not be Named.
