It's abuse of a dead body

by Cassandre52 1 month ago

It's not just about eating humans, it's about respecting them. By the same logic, there is nothing immoral about feeding dead human bodies to animals either. We have to respect the person, even after their death. Its also why we don't eat pets

by Runtesabryna 1 month ago

Well, I don't think there is anything strictly immoral about feeding humans flesh to animals either. Don't get me wrong, I think we should respect what people wish for their body before death, and if they want cannibalism it at most makes them really weird.

I'm pretty sure there are possibilities of infection/disease that come from eating humans.

That makes it unsafe, not immoral

by StomachFun6915 1 month ago

theres also an ingrained taint that makes meat of their own speices slightly poisonous. its why you dont see a lot of cannibalism normally among animal speices.

If cannibalism isnt widely condemned, killing people to sell human meat on the black market becomes a very real possibility

Selling human meat on the regular market becomes a very real possibility* I don't think anyone wants to see the meat of death row prisoners being sold at their local supermarket.

that's murder though, not cannibalism. Iirc cannibalism isn't even illegal in the US, but it's difficult because most of the SOURCES of human meat are illegal. which is quite crazy to think about

Murder will result from the view of cannibalism as moral is what im saying

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Cannibalism is perfectly legal in most US states. Getting the meat is the hard part. The only way I have heard of is eating your own amputated limb.

by StomachFun6915 1 month ago

The funny part about your argument is that you tried to put boundaries of no murder on it when allowing this is more likely to end up with people being murdered for food. What if people like younger meat like children and infants? Why not have a farm? There are certain lines that aren't crossed because they lessen the quality of life. That's where the morality lies.

I don't think that normalizing cannibalism would cause people murder to taste human flesh. More specifically, nobody would murder for flesh who wouldn't be willing to murder anyway. Your argument assumes that murder and cannibalism are related in that if cannibalism is normalized, then murder would also be normalized, but I see no reason to make that conclusion. Also, I don't see how your child example connects to anything. You are just pulling a random evil deed out of nowhere and saying it could happen in this hypothetical future.

That's also true with other meat though.

I perfectly reasonable amount...

I agree, meat that tastes that delicious can't be bad.

The real question is, what's the best way to cook it? My theory is deep-fried.

by StomachFun6915 1 month ago

what's the best way to cook it? It would depend on the cut and the intramuscular fat. Ground meat like nuggets? Yeah, deep fried. But some cuts will need to be slow cooked otherwise they'll turn out dry and crumbly.

The disease you're referring to comes from eating the brain. Avoid that and you're fine.

Agreed, even if religious, the body issn empty husk after the soul leaves. A delicious one that should not go to waste. Why should others die of starvation?

by Due-Candidate 1 month ago

Bro, morality is just not about logic alone- it also includes emotional, cultural and health factors. But from a logical standpoint, there's no wrong if the person consents it. However, I find it so disgusting eating someone you know after they die like that's not ethical at all

Let me help you. (Depending on where you live, this strategy is legal in most US states, but I don't know about outside the US) if you or a friend needs to get a limb amputated, many hospitals will allow you to take it home with you (this is because of some religion that require being buried whole) from that point you can butcher it cook it and eat it. I've heard that it is red meat, despite being known as long pork, because the people who call it long pork eat wild boars, not the pigs we know.

by StomachFun6915 1 month ago

If people are okay with eating animals, then it's logically okay to eat people. Meat is meat. Also, our ancestors did it and we wouldn't be here without it.

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Good ol long pig. Yummy. Well if you're an atheist your technically correct, the best way of being correct. But since we allow the specific insanity of religion and since that does, like it or not, for me it's not, mean that it influences morality. And therefore you're sadly wrong.

Don't take things so seriously. Obviously this wasn't meant as a good and well structured argument. Despite my lack of believe you don't have to worry about me taking a bite.

Dude I also criticized religion not religious people. It's a difference. I can think religion is stupid and still acknowledge that there are a lot of people way smarter than me that are religious.
