Is eating parts of yourself wrong or right?

i would eat my leg if i had no job, running out of money, no where to go, no family, and lonely.

i mean, what if you were a fatass and your entire leg was fat?

This fails the gag reflex. Were you smoking when you came up with this question? Because, one, ew, two, weird, three, there went my dinner.

I was thinking yesterday, what would human meat taste like?

Pork.
Well, according to Arthur Shawcross, anyway.
But that dude's a pathological liar, so it's kinda hard to tell.

OT: No.
I'd much rather have it stuck back on.
Even if it won't work anymore.
I can just walk around with a cane or something.

Only if it were to ensure that the child I was stranded with had all the food.

Hang on, there's a child left alive, and I'm gonna eat my leg? Bad luck kiddo, my leg is the third one I'll be eating!

As for cannibalism I believe it's only brain eating that causes diseases to spread, and I think that's how mad cow disease spread, by farmers being so tight, that they'd feed the dead cows back to the live ones and eating the cow brains caused the outbreak (not checked for fact, mere vague memories, yet I seem to remember hearing of cannibal tribes avoiding eating brains for the same reasons).

While on cannibals, the term 'longpig' came from them as a term for people as we're supposed to be closest to pork in taste.

So, prepare it nicely, and so long as my pork crackling doesn't have a tattoo still showing on it, I'm all for it!

(um, I mean, if it was a last ditch attempt to survive that is, not just because I can't be bothered to dial out for pizza)

I'm sure I wouldn't, unless I was starving, literally, to death.

Depends on the part you're eating, and keep that thing out of your mouth, I don't care how flexible you are.

You got Corprus or something, eating your own flesh? Get yourself to Divayth Fir and get into the Corprusarium.

well Marilyn manson did take out 2 of his ribs... hint hint

Your body does consume its own fat and even muscle in desperate situations, but you do go insane if you eat too much of your own species.

 

[Susan Arendt]

Medically, I think it's probably a very, very bad idea, but is it morally wrong? No, I can't see how it's hurting anyone.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

If it tastes good, why not?

 

[Zildjin81]

Doesn't eating yourself (in a survival situation) seem kind of stupid? It seems like you would die faster from chopped off leg syndrome than hunger.

I'd love to be able to "eat" certain parts of my body...

 

[ironlordthemad]

damn i thought that this was like "have you ever just seen a flake of your own skin and thought, 'hmm i wonder what that tastes like?'"
turns out we are talking about limbs...

I dont intend to chomp away, even if it is severed in an accident and I cant see any reason why it would be "wrong" but its just weird... maybe its part of our western culture to not want too eat our own limbs until we are made into zombies...

 

[Serge A. Storms]

I've eaten little flakes of skin on many occasions. It's not very satisfying, but at least you don't have to think about that little fleck of skin still being on your body.

 

[gremily]

I'm not sure if it's right or wrong... Just painful.

 

[WolfThomas]

No way I'm being turned into a Wendigo

 

[Gardenia]

Hey, If I had one chance to taste human flesh, my own amputated leg (provided it's not disease-ridden or anything) would probably be a hell of a lot better than someone elses.
