You can pick up and move or toss about just about anything else why not be able to pick up and move dead CELL so you can hide them from wandering patrols and such. Or throw them at other CELL.
dude, were not in assassins creed here

Better yet use them as a bullet shield.
you actually can. grab them with "F" (must be alive) and then get shot. the body will die and absorb the demage, but you will automaticly throw away the body after a few seconds.
