is cannibalism wrong

If you absolutely need to in order to survive, it's better than dying, and I'm sure your buddy would rather you use him than follow his fate.Flamezdudes said:
The reason it's wrong though is that people couldn't function in a society where cannibalism is considered 'right'. aside from various health issues already stated it would be far too easy to cross the line from eating dead, which is not technically wrong in a moral way, to eating the seemingly dead/ nearly dead/ doomed to die/ person who looks appetizing when you are hungry, things would run amok and it just wouldn't work.
I'm willing to be the human body has a ton of toxins in it from our unnatural diets. I wouldn't recommend consuming tainted flesh.
If you're in a desperate situation and need to feed on "anything" then fine.
If it's a guys funeral and you're going to eat him for the fuck of it then WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
Cannibalism is just like anything else, depending on the circumstances.
This doesn't really need a thread

@ dathwampeer: Hmm...that leads me to think that ANY species is predisposed not to eat their own dead.
Consider cows. sometimes, companies looking to save on feed will process some of their euthanized cattle into feed for the rest of the cattle. The problem is that this 'recycled' feed, called Meat and Bone Meal, is a breeding ground for the...er...is it an amoeba? Anyway, it causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or Mad Cow Disease.
More importantly, look at any other species on the planet. Not only do they avoid eating their dead, they avoid getting anywhere near them instinctively. So my answer is no, this is a bad idea. Not morally (I would never try to argue a moral point on the internet) but just from a biology point of view, it's not smart.

bit judgmental, aren't we? lol jkGrey_Focks said:
OT idk I've kinda always wondered what ppl tastes like, but it seems kind of icky. also, if they died naturally you probably wouldn't want to eat them. not to mention the health risks (yeah i clicked the link)
If you don't have to, respect there memory. But if itsthat or death, make sure you eat them politely.
I get the feeling this is related to the "Are cemeteries a waste of space?" thread...
This is leading up to something, and I predict it's zombie apocalypse.

I wouldn't do it, and honestly I'd probably try to discourage someone against it. But I guess there's not a problem with it.
