I heard in my biology class that it has bad long term side effects. I don't know if that is true but I sill would say no.

That's a bit of a false analogy, though, because the sex with the eight year old would have moral repercussions if she has any memory of it, and even worse ethical problems if her memory of it is wiped. With the human meat, the dude is already dead.370999 said:
Even considering your analogy, I personally would be up for trying pretty much anything if I'll only get one chance and I can literally stomach it, if there were no legal bounds or ethical problems. Human meat doesn't really come off as abhorrent to me (personally).
I didn't really get across the concept well, it's not so much about morality but a rooted sense of disgust. Like even the thought makes me feel a tad queasy. It just feels wrong you know? The analogy with the little girl was for how unnatural it seems.chadachada123 said:
Do you get me?
Apparently (and I don't know how accurate this is so don't like... quote me to people lol) we used to eat our dead all the time (like a loooooooooooooong time ago) before people started telling them that it was wrong and forcing them to bury their dead instead
Apparently it used to be a respect thing, eat the dead so that they can live on through you... or something like that *shrugs*
Anyway OT: Maybe..... Would depend on who it was I think lol

No, for several reasons.
1. Anyone old enough to legally give consent for such a thing would be too old to be edible. I'm sure you could eat them if you tried, but they'd be tough and horrible.
2. Disease.
3. Even tender human meat would probably taste gross. If the comparison to pork is accurate that gives me even less incentive because I never liked pork.
4. I don't actually care what people taste like.
If someone else chose to try it, good for them. I have no moral objections to the eating of human flesh provided they died to unrelated causes or they gave consent to be killed for that purpose.

if only because i at one point when asked how to solve overpopulation suggested nice healthy human farms, because would not a human being who is well fed and what not be an excellent source of nutrients for other human beings? and of course it would depend on how it was cooked. Raw meat is gross but a nice well marinated human chop wouldn't be too bad I imagine....
Nah. <link=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.258942-Robot-Identifies-Human-Flesh-As-Bacon?page=1>According to science, we taste like bacon, so I'll just stick with bacon, thanks.
Considering how you would have to either eat children or castrated adults for it to even be close to edible, it gets a little bit more disturbing than most people think.
Also, I absolutely love chicken, turkey, and seafood. Red meat has no hold on me, so I doubt I would have much interest in the taste itself.
