** Because Aya didn't care about their suffering and was rapidly growing into a sociopath like her father. Remember that her motivation until the very end is to save the mad scientist from his well-earned comeuppance, and that she engages in some pretty horrific brutality throughout the game.

** Yes, it's taxidermy. He's a masterful taxidermist who also happens to be insane. What's the problem here?

** Because she never did anything to help them and she is just as heartless as her father. She shows little regret and antipathy for the victims throughout the story.

*** The dolls aren't working with the zombies. Remember that Coron (a zombie) is the one who tells you to burn the Creepy Doll, and that the other dolls then stab her. Also, several groups of dolls are exorcised and fall to pieces prior to the curse being fully lifted.

** Chainsaws are OlderThanTelevision. Modern co-ordinated law enforcement didn't exist yet. If you include hand-pumped chainsaws - which, interestingly enough, started out as medical tools - then they're OlderThanRadio.

** I figured that even if her curse was what brought them back they still had their own free will, and some of them figured (probably rightfully) that the Doctor would suffer much worse if they killed his most precious doll and left her body unusable as their revenge than he would if they just killed him.

*** Not to mention that normal taxidermy involves putting the skin on top of a mannequin modeled after the target species, which induces UncannyValley.

** The doctor's version seems to have a certain amount of occultism attached to it, so maybe the corpses are preserved magically, allowing him to swap out pieces without needing molding putty or glass eyes or wire or any of the other materials a taxidermist uses. Being able to preserve a perfectly unrotted corpse without having to do or add anything to it would be a pretty big advancement of the art, at least.

* Aya's father's experiments. He takes different people's body parts to make dolls that don't rot. But... That's honestly no different from taxidermy. That's not a huge breakthrough--''at all''.
