At Cadaver Hut, we do dead folk good! Nothing but the freshest, most recently dead! "I bring my family to Cadaver Hut all the time. The down home cookin' tastes just like my Grandmas! I mean tastes like Grandma!"

Cannibalism is unhealthy by strictly physiological reasons: Parasites and diseases in the one eaten will then be brought over to the consumer. That is why cannibalism is somewhat rare among most species. I wouldn't recommend it in any situation unless if it was nessecarry in order to survive.
However, I still havent completely made up my mind as to how much a government should be able to protect a person from oneself, so I voted other.

I am against any kind of cannibalism regardless if its consentual or not.

Hi,
I have the right to life, and I have to right to give my life for someone else to eat if that is what I want.

The right not to have your life terminated isn't necesarrilly the same as the right to terminate it yourself.Fallen Angel Lord said:
Anyway, I find cannabalism repugnent, no matter what the circumstances. Anyone who eats another human being, even if that person agreed to it, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The only exception to this is if you're talking about eating an already dead human to save the lives of others. Like in that plane crash, where they had to decide between eating the flesh of their dead friends or dying; while I find the choice disgusting, and I would like to think I would starve instead, I don't think you should be prosecuted for that. The value of human life overides the sanctity of a dead human body. That doesn't make much less disturbing though.
I can see cannibalism taking place as the climax of a rellevant obsession, or in cases of schizophrenia (in the latter it doesnt really matter as cannibalism goes, since the person would have long lost the ability to tell what he is doing, and he might be thinking that he is unstuffing a teddy bear for all we know 
). I think that the german case was an obsession though.
There was a case in Greece 8 years ago, with someone who killed all of his family, and kept parts of his father's liver in the fridge. He was asked why he kept them, and replied: "i needed them for some of my experiments". Sad story.

It shouldn't be legal because it's just incredibly disgusting.
It also can't be truly consensual, as anyone who agrees to be eaten is obviously mentally ill.

That's a great definition of mental illness for a doctor to have. Once I'm dead, what happens to my body makes no difference at all to me. Whether organs get donated, body gets used by med students, body gets buried, body gets eaten, or it goes into a gibbet with the head on a pike, it makes zero difference to me, because I'm already dead.

What about someone who prematurely ends their life to be eaten, like in the German case?
Isn't suicide itself a sign of mental illness?

Well... what's the difference between cannibalism and organ donation?

Let's go past the guy in Germany's wild cannibalism fantasy. The cultures that have adopted cannibalism as part of their lives did so because there were limited resources and nothing else to eat, so in a sense, it does save lives.

I don't think those are the types of socities that politely raise the question of legalizing cannibalism to their national legislature.

Sure, but how does consenting to my remains getting consumed after I die equate to me being suicidal? Like I said, what happens to my remains once I'm dead doesn't affect me at all, so I don't see how consenting now about what happens to my remains when I'm dead implies mental illness.

If you answer an internet ad to commit suicide and be eaten, I think that indicates that you are suicidal.sanabas said:
