Flies will sit on anything dead, alive, gross, not gross, stinky, smell good; they are really nasty creatures.

They would see their dead brethren as they would any source of food or moisture. It isn't a question of morality as your question implies, they are doing their own thing but we often change a natural condition by anthropomorphising it (adding human values!?).

Flies are necrophiliacs.
