Ah! The slippery slope argument!
There is a fundamental difference between marrying someone you love, share feelings with and share a life with and a dog, child or corpse.
Do you see it?
The slippery slope argument goes both ways though. When we start placing restrictions on marriage based on traditional (religious) criteria, then we risk going too far. I've mentioned above other possible amendments that the Bible would demand.
