Using a dead persons finger is not possible though
I don't see why it wouldn't be. It just checks that the shape of the fingerprint is there, it doesn't check for a pulse or any sign of life. If you have a high-enough resolution image and printer, it's actually rther trivial to bypass most optical fingerprint readers.
