I once saw a sticker on the back of a car that read "Adults on board, we want to live too".

Probably because it's a child. I can respect it may be crossing the line for some, even though I think it fits well for the ruthless nature of the Alien series.

Some people say Newt's autopsy is in bad taste,
Well. It's a horror movie. For adults.
I'm not entirely sure why some people go
to a horror movie and expect to be coddled...

Shaw all the way. Newt is overrated as a character. She is basically a plot device in Aliens. A 'damsel in distress' to gain the audience's sympathy and cheer on the hero. Her funeral scene in Alien 3 ironically made her more of a complete character than the entirety of the previous film.

I think Newt's death is far more emotionally powerful than Shaw's; not only because Newt sort of replaced Ripley's deceased daughter, but also because she's a completely innocent character and way more fragile than others since she's a kid. It begs the question wether they should have left her 'unmarked' or chop her up instead...as they did. Anyway, the shots where she is lying on the table and you see the shadows of the surgical instruments pass over her closed eyes or when Ripley is checking her mouth always get to me. Shaw's death was like: 'well, here she is'. No drama whatsoever.
