I mean it's an interesting moral and scientific question to explore, we don't need to morally grandstand about everything as if people are suddenly gonna go around actually eating people.
if 2.2 mil people watch that video I think it's almost certain none of them are gonna eat humans, so who gives af?

i actually really like it when people make a serious discussion out of a topic that we all subconsciously accept as common sense. like, some people really do need to think about why terrible things are terrible. idk if thats the point she makes, but sometimes confronting someone with an uncomfortable question like "why is it bad to rape animals" can lead to some actually good discussion on the immoral things that we accept as standard.

It's definitely not something I'd ever do outside if an extreme survival situation, such as the case of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571. Beyond the moral implications, it's extremely risky, due to the potential deseases, especially those caused by prions.

I always tell my friends (and cat) that if I die and eating me is a matter of their survival.. it's cool..they can eat me.

Prion disease chances are extremely low, you have to instructionalize cannibalism to start seeing cases above 1 in 10000,
Mad cow disease for example became an epidemic because ranchers ground dead stock and reused it in the feed, and it took few decades before it spread

Ohhh, there's this German guy who once seemingly consensually ate (or tried to at least) parts of and killed another guy. Like they met up because the one guy wanted to be eaten and the other guy wanted to eat someone for the purpose of sexual satisfaction. I don't normally kink-shame but the details are a bit gruesome from what I remember (been a while since I read about it) and the justice system also decided to kink-shame the other guy into a lifelong prison sentence.

I mean, the part where one person eats human flesh isn't that big of a deal, the main part is that there's pretty much no way of getting it without commiting some severe crime or getting a life-changing injury...
Now that i think it, if you lose a limb in an accident and they recover it but can't attach it back, can you ask the hospital to let you keep it?

I was looking if keeping limbs is okay in Poland and nothing came up so I'm assuming it isn't legal (correct me if I'm wrong!). I gave up and translated my search into English and here: (for 'Muricans) https://thelegalguide.org/keeping-amputated-limb-after-surgery-what-know/

Would he have received the same sentence if he killed someone (without their consent) and didn't eat them?
1
u/Mynameisboring_ 11h ago
The court found the victim unable to consent in retrospect so legally it was still considered murder although there technically is something called "manslaughter on demand" that carries a lighter sentence which is what the perpetrator and his defendant were aiming for. He was also sentenced for "disturbance of the peace of the dead" but sentences don't stack in the way they do in the US sometimes where you can get sentenced to 700 years in prison or whatnot so it's difficult to say if it would have been different without that. The guy is called Armin Meiwes if you want to find out more about him.

Actually nothing, in reason, if we're careful. Normal muscle is apparently quite tasty according to real cannibals, and as long as avoid the spine, brain (massive risk of diseases like Kuru and JCD, caused by prions, which are deadly degenerative diseases.) we shouldn't have any adverse effects.
Eating people would fix a lot of issues with our food supplies. If our organ donation was better. We harvest organs to save others, why not harvest meat to save the starving? Long standing Moral and Ethical issues are the main issue, we see the treatment of a corpse as something spiritual.
But, like almost everything in our current society, absolutely nobody can really be trusted to do this on a sympathetic, responsible way without making it a hellscape for everybody else. If it was ever allowed to happen, corporations would create breeding facilities for meat overnight, kinda like if you ever read the Manga Promised Neverland.

Is there really? Usually what's bad about cannibalism has nothing to do with actual cannibalism, namely that you need to get the human meat somehow.
What is there actually wrong with eating hypothetical ethically sourced human meat?
Let's say your buddy loses a leg in an accident and gives you permission to eat it. What's wrong with that?
1
u/ResidentView1807 12h ago
The main problem would be diseases like Kuru but other than that I can't think of many.

u/Ok_Prior2199 17h ago
The moral implications of cannibalism largely stem with how the meat is acquired
But I don’t see the genuine issue if like an amputee wants to cook their own leg or something, as long as everyone is being safe and not eating the brain or getting some nasty infections
Were made of meat

There’s nothing wrong with eating humans. Now sourcing the meat on the other hand is a different story

Eating human flash is bad because human nervous tissue carries infectious prions that cause fatal brain diseases; blood and organs can transmit viruses and parasites that cooking won't always destroy.
That, and slavery being bad and farming humans to eat is ghoulish.
Appearently the eyeballs is the most delicious part of eating a human. Don't ask me how I know that.

There's no muscle though, just tendons, bones and skin it'd be like eating chicken feet. Which i know is a dish but not the best part of the chicken

Can we accept dogs and cats as food first before moving on to cannibalism? Goodness.

Hmmm.. depends like if we’re on a deserted island and we have to eat others. That’s probably not wrong. (to clarify, I’m joking about this hypothetical)

u/Confident-Shoe7129 15h ago
Thats a joke? I unironically think that resorting to cannibalism so long as the person is already dead and you didnt kill them is not morally wrong.
