Wrong.
When Jehovah God made us, he made us to have dominion over the birds, land creatures & sea creatures.
As a matter of fact, before Adam & Eve screwed up & decided they wanted to live their own lives & not look to Him for guidance, we were intended to be herbivores!
Then when we got tossed out, we were allowed to eat of the burnt offering, & somewhere in there we were allowed to kill animals for food purpose, not game, but NEVER a human.
Not in cold blood, defense or anything, we are to never spill the blood of another, let alone eat them. Why would you?
I mean, we have a billion other options out there to chew on& you would choose some dead person?
That's pretty gross.
With what am I referring to regarding dominion over what now?
God says these words to Noah and his family after the global flood.
"Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man?s brother I will require the life of man. Whoever sheds man?s blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man" (Genesis 9:1-6).
That is the NIV Bible, but all of them are about the same, KJV just has more thee's & thou's.
I use the NWT to be honest, proven much more reliable & easy to read.
Nonetheless, cannibalism is morally wrong & just plain gross if nothing else.
Sick.
Don't feed the trolls anymore kids.

You quantify a person as purely their flesh and blood? Ouch.
I'm honestly not sure how to respond to this. I'll just say that a person IS their flesh and blood, and whether or not we have souls hardly matters in relation to this subject. So if I eat someone's body, but not their soul, I'm not actually eating them? Bullshit.
Honestly, after reading just how many of you are actually saying that cannibalism is okay "in the right circumstances" or if "they died naturally" I was about to just flame all of you and probably get severe mod punishment. Instead, I'll just post this one last thought on the matter.
Okay, let's ignore the obvious
and scientifically proven problems that would arise from eating another human being. NONE of you would be able to do it, because none of you are the emotionless sociopaths you pretend to be on the internet.
Go ahead and say I'm wrong, but you all know damn well that I'm not.
Oh yeah, I forgot that, GREAT point, we are FILTHY creatures & you would want to eat us? You are what you eat... Yeah, I wouldn't eat me after the things I've eaten. Guh, gross.
