I'm for cannibalism for survival.
It was acctually an unwritten rule among sea-farers, the Coustom of the sea as it was called.
This where first illigalized in 1884 in England after the incident with Captain Tom Dudley, where he and two other crewmates where forced to eat the flash and drink the blood of a fourth crewmate.
The rule where passed more because of the wish to set the Anglo-saxon's image as high-class than any other reason, and even though Dudley where sentenced to death, he was released shortly after the trial, because it was just a ploy to illigalize all forms of cannibalism.

You are what you eat, I guess?
Eating a person would probably have all the various nutritional nonsense needed to feed a person. It's got it's own set of consequences that make it unattractive, but whatever.

It's unlikely the human race would even exist without rape. How's that for justification?kayisking said:
You know I've just never had human prepared properly.
You try it roasted and it doesn't taste like chicken it just tastes like crap.
I guess barbequed person if fine but the way I barbeque things you may as well just eat a lump of charcoal.
Not my personal taste but that's no reason to condemn something.
Besides it would end world hunger. One way or another.

My only problem with it is that the people who I can morally justify eating usually aren't the same as the people who would be healthy and nutritious to eat 
Apart from that I see it as a great way to cut down the population while feeding the masses.

Interestingly if someone volunteers to be killed and eaten it's still ilegal to actually kill them.
So if someone volunteers to have a little, non-lethal bit, chopped off and eaten it should still count as assault but doesn't seem to.
So the conclusion is make killing someone legal or make getting a body mod illegal. I can see no flaw with this logic.

As with most things in life kids, it's all right as long as you don't get caught /jk
Depends on the situation. Someone dies and other people are starving to death, sure why not. A body is just a body, not a human. Need to be careful cooking human though, it burns real easy.

'Cos lots of people would be willing to sign said waiver, especially if there happens to be an available notary in that survival situation?Dulcinea said:
On the note of how human tastes, many cannibals have said that it tastes quite a lot like pork.
Rather than the obvious comment of "it tastes like chicken" which most people resort to when describing the taste of something to make others more willing to eat it... I've never understood that comparison though, chicken is boring unless seasoned/prepared/cooked in specific ways. Just go cook a breast in nothing but a little oil in a pan and it's utter crap. Do the same with some bacon or a steak and it's not half bad. Add seasoning to anything and I bet you could make a trotter or a jaw bone taste good. Hell wrap something in batter and herbs and most people wont question what the meat is, it tastes that damn good. You could probably pass off human ribs as any other animals rack, just barbecue them bones up and the taste will follow.
On the unhealthy aspect of eating human meat, too much can both drive you insane and give you a full body tremor like parkinson's disease. So, it's the kind of thing you could only eat on occasion. Hell most ancient Western European cultures were animistic, so eating ones ancestors and relatives at their funeral was common place, part out of the luxury of meat I imagine, but also as a spiritual symbolic ceremony of having them become a part of you as you were once part of them. I've never understood the reaction most people have to cannibalism... Of course, unconcentual is wrong, but to thus daemonise and hate it out of general principle is silly really. Anyway, I'd eat just about anything, just to try it, just to say I have, just to see if there is anything out there that's nicer for special occasions than the big three (chicken, pig, cow), which I personally find a bit repetitive.
I think I'll stop there before people get more worried than they probably already are...
My apologies...

I take it you mean about my "The cannibals we know are mainly fiction" statement.Togs said:
That's toward the way they're portrayed. They don't eat absolutely everyone they find in a big pot, as films would have us believe.
"Finish off your plate young man! You ordered it, now you eat it! Your dinner was morally expensive!"
Thought about it, and I gotta say I came up with more than I thought I would. On the one hand, cannibalism being legal doesn't mean it is now legal to KILL people to eat them. On the other hand, legalisation of cannibalism may lead to an increase in murder...but then again, surely if people were willing to break the law in the first place this shouldn't make much difference at all. Hmm. Very deep.Kipohippo said:
