Who would want to mock such a serious and thoughtful subject like eating old dead people? I mean, I always expect to find scintilating, intelligent conversation on the web, and interesting pictures too.

Here.

edit: Yeah, okay, maybe not work safe ... but you asked for it.

Red Dog's position is at least logically coherent. From an ethics perspective it's a mess of course (since presumably it's ethically superior to eat a human not murdered specifically to eat than to kill a fish and eat him) but it is at least coherent. I don't generally oppose arguments that I disagree with if they're coherent.

I need to re-emphasize something, folks. I do not advocate merely eating the corpses of people who've died of natural causes (whether that be cancer sufferers or people who've died of old age). The only ethical emphasis I made was not eating people deliberately murdered for meat consumption. Thus, little kids run over by drunk drivers, folks who fall down open elevator shafts, people who accidentally, brutally hack their own heads off whilst shaving....all destined for the meat industry. If it can be proven, somehow, that a murder victim was not purposefully murdered to profit from the new highly lucrative human meat industry, their remains shall make a contribution too.

It is not unethical to eat a murder victim per se. It is however heinous to take someone's life specifically so one can eat them.

Seriously, if this industry actually is started and thrives(interesting pun) how are you going to stop people from murdering others and selling the bodies to restaurants?

27 votes is a poor turnout. I'm surprised - this is one of life's big questions surely.

Yes, I'd eat a person, hopefully this would be done up gourmet style, not a wierd ritual in a friend's back room; depends on the price actually.

SPINOZA, since you seem to have gone over the deep end, I'll share with you a question I've been thinking about this week:

Would you attend a show...? ...which includes dinner, an opening act of Mongolian contortionists and other exotic entertainment-- but the highlight of the evening is a man cutting off his member with a gleaming scimitar. He comes from an impoverished nation, (has a valid entertainment visa for the night's performance,) and is paid, say, 50,000 dollars for the act, more than he could otherwise hope to earn in ten lifetimes, his performance is totally voluntary.
