This thread is inspired by the miami zombie attack. As the title states would you eat the flesh of your fellow man for 5000 dollars. This is assuming it was already prepared in a good meal and you would face legal repercussions. I would probably do it for less just to experience it. Why should it be illegal to consume humans? Throughout history human meat has been a source of nutrition and sustenance for countless people. I say we make all inmates on deathrow into food. If every country did this with their criminals it would help solve world hunger and would deter crime. Take a look at the siege of leningrad or when the japanese invaded china. The meat from humans proved to be lifesaving food for thousands. My point is that if you oppose cannibalism you support famine.
... I'm at a lost for words. Can someone help me out here? ... Anyone?! Hello????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *echoes*
The eating of human flesh is against the law because you would either have to eat a dead body (unhealthy) or kill someone (obviously a bad thing). People shouldn't be able to go to the store and buy a person's foot to put in their stew the next night.
In ancient times the consumption of your enemies was believed to increase your strength and spirit. By consuming their flesh they became one with you. Cannibalism besides being nutritional is good for you spiritually and I would encourage all true warriors to consume their enemies. I'm tired of this taboo existing. I'm not saying to go and murder random people but eating your enemy or inmates isn't going to harm society, on the contrary it can lead to a certain strength not seen otherwise. I would preffer to eat the homeless. They provide the same nutrition as the rich but they dont actually contribute to society in any meaningful way. If they became cheesburgers they would actually help sustain society.
Is there any scientific evidence of that? Last I checked, the consumption of human flesh tends to result in some pretty nasty diseases that aren't killed by normal food preparation. Besides which, I am absolutely sure that there are much less... drastic means to achieve spirituality. Plus I am pretty sure that most major religions prohibit the consumption of human flesh.
I've had psychiatrists tell me I had ASPD also known sometimes as psychopathy but I reject psychology as a science. I'll make a thread on that subject later. And my social life is actully pretty good believe it or not.
Also, we don't have nearly enough inmates on death row to make a lot of food. Lets assume one human body can feed 5 people. So if we have 100 inmates on death row, we will only feed 500 people. So should we eat POWs? I don't think that been done since the Aztecs, and they only sacrificed they didn't eat. @Karakoran @ComradeLer
Read up on cases like s siege of leningrad or the holodomor and you'll see that human flesh was often used to keep people alive. I see no reason that can't be used as a model in other countries experiencing famine. Human tastes pretty good too. Like pork thats why cannibal tribes from fiji often refer to humans as long pigs. If I had my way the death penalty would be expanded for a lot more crimes then murder and yes we should eat POW's imo.
You realize that this would be a terribly inefficient food source, right? Oh and I think you might like this: A Modest Proposal
