Don't think it should be legalized because of huge can of worms that would come along with it. Look how much Beef is regulated because of risk of disease and we can't even contract half their diseases. But anything the person your eating has you can catch too. Legalizing would only upon us up to a new risk with out very strict regulation that would cost alot of money to function.

Eh, I don't think you should eat dead people if they tell you not to. That'd be weird.
Otherwise, you can if you won't. I personally won't though.

Don't really have an opinion about it (guess it's just to far fetched to think about in a modern society) but i saw a interesting documentation about cannibalism in New Guinea a few days ago and they found 3 or so people that have actually eaten human flesh (the tribes converted to christianity in the 60's/70's and don't do it anymore) and they talked about it quite casually, also they have never eaten/heard about someone eating human flesh to survive/just cause they want meat only as revenge or when they killed and ate a "magic" man.
Seconded.Kecunk said:
Armed CounterZombie Militiaman are on their way to skylight raid anyone who agreed that it should be legalized.
In all seriousness, I don't see where it would actually be needed outside of a disaster situation in which case it wouldn't really matter.
This should be avoided at all costs. Recycling of cow material into meat and bone meal was a major factor in the BSE (mad cow disease) epidemic which hit the UK in the 80s. This resulted in severe implications right through the 90s as cases of vCJD hit humans and the economy suffered due to a lack of beef exports.Count Igor said:
If you feed animals material from their own genus you have a high chance of cycling diseases in that population to the point it will build up and affect humans through health or economic factors.
Tribes can do it all they want, people are starving, if the only way people can eat is to eat other humans and that human is already dead it just kinda makes sense.
It doesn't have a place at all in modern society, but from a survival standpoint why would you let meat go to waste.
I imagine we taste like shit though, the don't exactly have as health a diet compared to a lot of animals.

Whatever floats your boat. Just make sure that if they are able to give it, have the permission of said person.
This film is the basis for my opinion. I can only morally accept it in EXTREME situations.
Could I do it myself, even in those situations? I can't tell you that, I honestly can't.
Nando Parrado and others survived a plane crash in the Andes by eating the bodies of those who died. In extreme survival situations, I think this is perfectly moral, and it's the only time when civilized people would even consider it.
Ah, what Redlin5 said.

As a human i see myself to be above the animals (i am an Homo Sapiens after all) and instead of relying on my insticts i use my superior brain power (compared to animals relying on instinct) and reason and think what is moral and ethical. And no, cannibalism IMO is not either.
Also, i am vegetarian so i dont meat in general really so yeah...
I would not eat human flesh even if that would mean i would die.

I'm of the opinion that if you were to die a death that involved your body not becoming contaminated and you and a friend//family member were both so inclined, you should be allowed to leave a part of your body to them in your will so that they may taste human meat atleast once before they died themselves and vis versa. I would love to try human meat, but there's about no chance I ever will... Just imagine a big juicy T-bone steak with chunky chips from your Grandpa who died in his sleep! Or perhaps a smoked back bacon sandwich with tomato sauce from an old friend you haven't seen in a couple of years, but you recently found out they died in a car accident! These are morbid indeed, but I do feel they are a wonderfully interesting, respectful, and even romantic thing to do. Rather than, of course, kidnapping/killing/consuming a victim against their will, ala Jeffrey Dahmer! Bon appetite y'all! Eats Pizza Hutt! *grins*
No, I don't like hot-dogs.
HA-HA.
In all seriousness I think it's one of the few things in the world that I will forever be ethically against, there's no need for it in my opinion, even in those oft-touted "do or die" scenarios. Also, doesn't that go against our instincts, I'm pretty sure it never happens in nature.
I would like to hear what PETA would have to say though.

Eh, it's sort of like child porn for me (holy shit that's a good start). Technically the porn itself is harmless, but making a franchise out of it would require the systematic exploitation of innocent children. In the same way, I can't see anything wrong with actually eating a person (besides the instinctual repulsion, if there is any, that probably kept us from eating each other as proto-people), but the implied murder is obviously unhealthy. If it's a Donner party scenario, I don't think the morality of eating an already deceased relative is as relevant as the question of how to get the kids to buy that it's chicken.
