is cannibalism wrong

[pope_of_larry]

i was think is cannibalism wrong im not talking about farming people or hunting them down from food but lets say some one died naturally would it be wrong then to have some of his ribs for lunch? so i want to know what you think escapist.

 

[Fusoiya]

Yes, I don't know why but I just think it is immoral.

inb4 my 50 other contradictions, yeah I have nothing to say :<

 

[Marter]

I don't think anything would be wrong with it. Not in my eyes any way. If they died naturally and nobody has any issue with you eating the body, no issue here.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Who gives a shit? It's fucking disgusting!

 

[Plurralbles]

Um... dying naturally is a problem. Most people don't eat things that died naturally. There are problems with it, I think. Serious health concerns. Though there is a tribe in africa or south america that does eat its old people who die. There are ill effects from doing it. So, no, don't eat anything that died naturally, let alone a stupid human whose meat is almost toxic and of no significant nutritional value.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

Um I would have a problem with it. I don't fancy my dead body being eaten thanks.

I DONT TASTE NICE!!! Honest...

 

[Xeros]

Nope. They're dead, I'm hungry.

 

[Flamezdudes]

The way i see it, its wrong to do in any way apart from pure survival and even thats stretching it. For example, if you're stranded in a boat and your friends or crew have died and you have no food, you'd need to eat them to survive. But then ofcourse there is the psychologial problems and that you'll probably keep wanting more.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Not really.

I wouldn't do it out of Respect for the persons body and Health issues but, if the person died naturally and would have been cool with it, why not?

Wasn't mad cow disease caused by feeding cows cow fat and meat.

I can't imagine the the result would be much different human on human.

Creatures generally are not supposed to eat themselves.

Edit: To avoid further quotings.

We have covered that mad cow disease is from the brains. Thank you.

 

[Vhite]

No one was complaining so far.

 

[Dexiro]

Yes it's very wrong! Stop trying to eat me D:

 

[gallaetha_matt]

It varies from person to person.

*rimshot*

So anyone here from out of town?

 

[Omikron009]

I'm not a cannibal myself, but if nobody has a problem with you eating the body I don't see what's wrong with it.

 

[Burningsok]

well when a man has nothing left to eat he has to survive by eating his fellow humans. but honestly its just disgusting.

 

[HotFezz8]

depends on the situation. if your starving and their dead, why not?

 

[Grey_Focks]

this was inspired by that "incest" thread, wasn't it? (not to imply they are similar, but they are both taboos that people NORMALLY don't like to talk about)

Anyway, yes, it is wrong. Not only health wise (yes, it is VERY unhealthy, this is scientifically proven), but because...I mean how would you live with yourself knowing you ate another human being? You just ate someone who once had thoughts, hopes, dreams, a family, and they are now dead and inside of you. If that thought doesn't disgust you there is something mentally wrong, period.

EDIT- people are okay with this? are you fucking serious? Here, read this, all of you, right now.

[Cameron Baxter]

love these random topics are you asking because you plan to eat someone or what?

also if the person died naturally the meat would have began to decompose which would cause all kinds of germs to breed

also moral reasons and the general cutting someone up for lunch thing make me think it may be wrong unless completely nessicary for survival.

 

[Evertw]

Well yeah I would have a problem with eating a human body.

Why?

It's totally fucking wrong!
