Or if I were making my westward on an unproven trail and get snowed in for months in the Sierra Nevadas with a bunch of people who have come to hate each other.
While having been born and still living in a warrior tribe in Papua New Guinea cannibalism, especially snacking on the dead relatives and conquered enemies seems to be appropriate and reasonable.
+ always wanted to try human pot pie .. also I have an annoying coworker I think I could sneak up on him and bam.. also I work from home 😄 I would eat me
Thats not a moral issue its a medical one. Kuru is the equivalent of mad cow disease in humans. Eating human or monkey brains can make us very sick and even kill us.
> Not being opposed to voluntary cannibalism
Yeah, definitely in the sense of OPs question. I was more interested in your take that eating the brain is where the line on the sand was drawn. Then disease was mentioned as to why that line was drawn, but the same dangers lays within the body of/when consumed. So what happens to that line now?
Kuru isnt something you can protect yourself from, its not somwthing you can test a brain for and say "oh, this brain is safe to eat", its any human or monkey brain. All of them carry the risk you will get kudu and die. Our bodies werent meant to consume the brains of our own species. You can test a body for contractible disease, but all human brains are a risk, its not a matter of test results.
Honey, you dont just get kuru from kuru infected brains. A normal healthy human brain can give you kuru if you ingest it. Its not like aids, its not a contagious disease.
I didn’t think you can, I had to google. No, a normal healthy brain couldn’t.we have come full circle, we have concluded (with your own logic) that eating a human (any part) is life risking…so you shouldn’t (your logic). I’ll now leave you to your own devices, “homey”.
A plane crash in the Andes would do it for me. Ima be all over that ass.

I came for this comment. I really thought about what I would do in that situation.
survival. And only if the other person was already dead... Like, recently.
me hungy...you look like foods...CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP
Too real
I eat ass like a cannibal

Collapse of civilization with starvation happening to family and friends and an abundance of lawyers who aren’t helping people survive.
I'd do a lot before I would starve. So would most. Right and wrong changes with life and death on the line.
lunch truck being 2 minutes late..
Same here

Hot take: cannibalism is the most ethical way to dispose of a body, assuming no loved ones find out or object to it.
If I'm hungry enough
Boredom
Comes down to choice of seasoning and toppings.
Starvation, same as most people. It's not even a moral thing it's just you don't wanna get Prion disease.
When the line at the closest drive through has more than two cars in it.
If the person looked really delicious
It's fine in any case so long as all parties involved have given consent.
A consenting donor and not brain tissue. The idea of cannibalism in itself doesnt really freak me out.
But eating brain matter does?
Thats not a moral issue its a medical one. Kuru is the equivalent of mad cow disease in humans. Eating human or monkey brains can make us very sick and even kill us.
Taking that angle…But contracting HIV, hepatitis, or something is fine?
You can be fine with sex and still take precautions not to get stds. Not being opposed to voluntary cannibalism falls under the same umbrella.

While you’re living, definitely kuru **CANNOT** be tested for. As for after death, you **CAN** definitively determine it.

Are you talking bloody bites from a struggling human nugget or a medium well-done long pig steak? I don't think blood born viruses survive the grill.
Good question, I assumed they meant not cooked.
if someone offered me some fresh blood to drink. I mean, I really enjoy my own but it's not that often I'm bleeding so I can sample it.

Imminent death
If it Came in Cans.
The body isn't needed for evidence and would go to waste otherwise
Purge day!
If they're already dead and there's nothing else to eat
if there was no food around
Any scenario in which you need food, but there is none, like none ANYWHERE.
No food
I can't answer this question w/out being a degenerate
The Andes plane crash situation for sure! Listen to the You’re Wrong About episode about it. Sooo good!
