Is eating yourself immoral?

[Terxpahseyton]

The are some everygreens out there in the moral debate. Weather one can eat ice cream, animals, humans or babies. But the most to the moral debate existential but at the same time often neglected question is: Can we harm ourself? Can we eat ourselves, cut ourselves, poison ourselves in myriads of ways - kill ourself? Or is that all immoral as perhaps some Christians and also other members of other religions claim?
Is self-inflicted harm immoral? Do we to ourselves hold the same moral obligations as to others?
Differently phrased: Is morality like mirror, on each side the same stuff, but to the left you got positive morality (to others) and on the right negative morality (like to oneself)?

If it's ok to eat youself out I think it's ok to eat yourself too

Eating yourself is only immoral if you don't thoroughly enjoy the taste of the chunky, viscous protoplasm dribbling from your self-mutilated stomach. All of those years spent constructing that flesh, and you're not even grateful for the meal.

It is a common practice among all the people of the world to eat themselves. When suffering hunger human organism literally eats itself Starting from the fat reserves to devouring tissue. It is nothing immoral or maybe by eating Yourself You mean cutting Your own arm and eating it ? It is inefficient at best therefore not practical, organism itself handles that for You

I'm sure I've eaten my body weight in fingernails many times over. I've obsessively bitten them since I was a baby.

Do You swallow or spit out , this is important ! If You spit out You no longer can call Yourself a cannibal !

I don't think we have a moral obligation not to self-harm, though I have not thought this through. I'm open to arguments that we do have a moral obligation not to self-harm.

I don't think the state has a right to outlaw self-harm in general, but there are specific instances where the state can. I'm fairly confident about this point and I doubt anyone will sway me, but again, make me an argument I can't refuse.

Swallow. They never even get close to being big and gross enough to make swallowing disgusting. And when I'm out of nail I'll go to work on the skin around them till they bleed.

I do this too and I think they actually call this autocannibalism.

I am trying to stop but it's harder than quitting smoking.

My mother was refusing to eat anything, I was visiting the doctor to adress the issue, and he said to me "People have the right to inflict hunger to themselves" ... it speaks for itself If You want to do something ugly to Yourself nobody will stop You, if You want to do something ugly on somebody else You're doomed

Eating Your nails is as addictive as popcorn !

Well my only question is, if I eat myself will I become bigger or smaller?

Beaten to it.

Morality has nothing to do with it.

It's your body - if your act doesn't affect others negatively, you can do whatever you want with it.

But their commanding officers scuppered their catering sideline when one of their fellow soldiers complained: "I have been asked to give blood for sausage making and I want to know if this is against regulations."

Who says soldiers aren't smart?
