Only if it was that or die and I knew it was safe to eat. Even then, it would probably still bug me.

I'll admit it. I'm bloody curious to know what human tastes like. No pun intended.
I've tried a lot of weird things in my time. If i can eat oysters whole that are fresh out of the sea, veal, venison, squid, mussels, liver paté, and god knows what else, i'm sure i can handle people. And i don't mean that in a "i'm eyeing you up for dinner" creepy Hannibal Lector kind of way.

Yes I would consume human flesh for no other reason than to try it and for something to eat.
UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES:
The human was willing to let it happen.
The human was not killed for this purpose alone.
The human was free of any disease, and or chemicals and had a good diet and wasn't too old.
It was prepared well. =/

Don't eat human meat.
Seriously, you become mentally screwed up. You will probably go insane and die.

Cannibalism is one of those big No-no's, like rape, incest and murder.
I would die before I ate human meat.

Heck, I'd consider killing someone just to get a taste of Human flesh, sure I've tasted my own Blood and Dead Skin before but it's just not the same if it doesn't come from someone else and isn't cooked!
The person would have to have had some sort of prion disease before they died in order for you to get it, you're also less likely to catch prion diseases from non nervous tissue, which is what most people eat.Giantpanda602 said:
I still wouldn't risk it, mind, but it isn't hugely dangerous. I don't care enough about meat to try, more of a sweets person.
Isn't human flesh supposed to make you sick if you eat it, or is that a myth? I've always been a bit curious, so I guess I might try a little piece, depending on where it came from. probably a big chance I wouldn't like it though. I'm a picky eater.
It varies from person to person...you look tasty...Phlakes said:
That's as good as volunteering to be eaten by me...gideonkain said:
EDIT: ...but seriously, if you have to eat it to survive and the person is already dead, what's the harm? It's like having a lesbian relationship with your sister, sure it's morally wrong, but you're not going to have any inbred genetic offspring from it...man, that was a weird simile...
A dead body is a husk. It is no longer human. They aren't going to object if you stay alive by chomping on their leg...
I'm not advocating soylent green or murder or eating your recently deceased gran, but if the situations calls for it, you'd better dig in...
Where is the proof of this?Giantpanda602 said:
OT: I would, in the right circumstances. Besides? Why is Cannibalism bad? Sometimes 'tis necessary. There is no /REAL/ reason that Cannibalism is a 'bad' or 'wrong' thing beyond our society's... issues.
Edit: I should also add that I would only do this for survival (and I am playing devil's advocate).
But...you are what you eat...subtlefuge said:
Joking aside, I probably would try it. I bet I'd feel pretty squicky about it, but I guess knowing I'm eating human before I eat it is better than eating a piece of meat and then being told afterwards that it came from a human.
Prepared correctly, and of course in a dignified manner, I would want to at least try it. And on the plus side, with the massive amounts of sodium we consume, it wouldn't need a whole lot of seasoning. Good news for the potential cannibal.
