[FMA] Human Transmutation

I know making a living human with alchemy is a forbidden art and carries a huge risk, but what about just building a non living human body? You know just a corpse more or less but a complete body all organs and bones included. Would it carry the same risks? Would it be still be a forbidden art?

The actual risks with human transmutation seem to revolve entirely around the soul, not the body. Otherwise, as you say, the body is just natural ingredients arranged in a specific amount and shape. Ed even rambles off the actual percentages of each one in one of the earlier episodes, implying that an alchemical breakdown of a human body has been done before. 

The reason most people don't seem to bother is that there doesn't seem to be much point. Anything you make is effectively useless because medicine in the FMA-verse doesn't seem good enough to do transplants and alchemy doesn't seem to have any (known) surgical application. Or else you'd think a master like Izumi could help herself. Plus the general ban on Human Alchemy seems to extend to all aspects of it, rather than just trying to raise the dead. Shou Tucker was making Human Chimeras but he still had to keep his research secret.
