I had an experience a long time ago when I was attacked on the street. The guy threw me against a wall and began ripping off items of clothing. The only way I could escape was to bite the guy. So I did-- hard. The taste wasn't good or bad. Kind of neutral.

Thank God the guy didn't have AIDS. Thank God your guy didn't have AIDS either, Fluffy.

Before you jump the gun too much bunny.... I was not condoning it I was simply saying as a meat eater I feel little compassion for the burger i eat even though I know it was once a living breathing creature.



I guess the difference being that people are more likely to feel compassion for a fellow human. Due at least partially because they can relate to them more. But I think that if I considered killing animals and killing humans to be equal, I'd be much more likely to become a vegetarian than a cannibal. For someone to eat fellow humans without any remorse sounds a little psychopathic to me.

thanks for the story fluffy i was eating dinner at the time

I agree. To eat humans without any remorse would be a little strange at the present time. However, if they were farmed for the purpose of being killed and eaten then I do not think it would be so bad. Once agian, I am not condoning it, just saying.

They could be poisoned at the farm so no brain developed. Then they'd be easy to control, kill and eat.

But what difference would that make? They'd still be humans. If they were brought up for the purpose of being killed, it wouldn't stop them from having the same emotions etc. as anyone else...

Have you seen the kind of outrage that can be caused by a small bunch of cells that haven't yet developed any organs at all in the stem cell debate?

I think this would cause quite a bit more outrage than even that.

Unfortunately I did. blood and ...tissue...It was considered a bioexposure, and I ended up having to go to the hospital and go through the same process as if I had been exposed to a needle stick with patients blood...blood tests...


Woah, Fluffybunny, what an experience you sure try to forget.

Not only directly being a vegetarian, I might even consider go to Tibet or Mecca and live the rest of my life as a hermit if I were on your shoes.

I think it has to do with killing. To people, killing an animal is not wrong (it's truth). Killing a human is. To eat, you must kill... we don't eat creatures that died naturally, I think it's not healthy

I don't think it would be healthy to do that either. The question would be, "What did they actually die of?"

It could have been any disease that could be fatal to the person eating it.

Who exactly would be farmed for the purpose of being killed and eaten? How would they be chosen - via a raffle?

Human being are supposed to be compassionate beings not wild animals. Animals may eat their own, perhaps they need to eat just what they can get. Humans however, have choices in what to eat, things are at our disposal and eating another human being is not one of them. People are not possessions and neither should they ever be.

Spanky if what you are saying about this farm thing is genuine, how would you feel if you were one of those in a farm just waiting to be killed and eaten?

The thought of eating another human being actually makes me want to vomit. I could not go with the farm thing, that would be sadistic and non-feeling.

thats basically the reason why im a veggie especially with all these so call 'modern farming practices' . grin2.gif.

i don't think spanky is genuine about this (hope not tongue.gif) i think he's just throwing in a few things for 'discussion'

i don't think humans will crave meat that much to resort to cannibalism when alternative exists.

Clones would be farmed for the purpose of being killed and eaten. No need for a raffle, they are all going to be killed and eaten. We do not have a raffle with the cows and the pigs and the lambs.

I'm not a clone baby!!! wink2.gif

You are incorrect in your assumption.

Maybe, but it is something to think about for the future.

Give it a chance. Did not the Lord say "eat this bread for it is my flesh and drink this wine for it is my blood". Or something.

Yeah but God talks to me and he told me that he really wanted them to use flesh and blood.

If that were the case, i'm sure blood and flesh would have been used. The early christians were persecuted anyway so wouldn't have made much difference.
For the cannibalism, i wouldn't eat a smoker or drug addict, the meat would taste funny. I think teenagers would probably have the juciest meat.

Wow, fluffy, your experience was way over and beyond the call of being a firefighter, although I know you guys get hit with everything....I wouldn't want to ever be in the situation of having no choice but to eat human flesh, and it would have to be as the last choice for survival...Does anyone remember, quite a few years ago, about that plane crash where the two survivors had no choice but to eat the remains of those that died with them...I think it happened in a remote part of the mountains in the wintertime..They were eventually saved, with no other choice but to do what they did to survive....And Spanky, I think most of us know which half of that statement is true.... grin2.gif

That is how I know what human flesh tastes like, and why I became a vegitarian.

Ugh that’s quite a nasty experience, don’t blame you for being a vegetarian after that.

First, Fluffy, MAJOR sympathy on a horrible experience!

Secondly, this thread is a bit disturbing. It sounds to me as if the original poster is wanting someone to say, "yeah! Great idea! Go have some long pork!" and the very idea of raising humans for meat is just so wrong on so many levels that I can't even begin to address it. If you are sitting around wondering what it would be like to eat human flesh, you need to get off the Internet and go find some help.

Well obviously you didn’t read it properly! I wasn’t just sitting about think hmm I fancy some human meat. No, as I said I just finished watching a film about a serial killer who eat human meat. And then I was just thinking there, everyone is saying oh that’s morally wrong to eat a human! However we do much worst than just eat each other I mean what about the serial killers and rapists? Morality inst stopping them from cutting their fellow humans insides out. So what’s stopping them from putting them in the oven and cooking them for tea?

Hey, it worked in an old Alfred Hitchcock episode...
Tao of Pooh
There are several forms of cannibalism and only one, situational cannibalism, is really for nutritional/protein purposes. The other forms of cannibalism commonly practiced could be considered "societal" and are done to instill fear i.e. eating your enemies or what is known as compassionate cannibalism ie: consuming your kin. Compassionate cannibalism often is a more "sanitary" form of cannibalism than what most people think of as cannibalism, the Yanomamo who were mentioned in an earlier post burn their deceased kin, then mix the ashes & crushed bones to form a sort of gruel which is then ritualistically consumed.

All this excludes, of course, the individuals who practice cannibalism to satisfy their own personal needs.
Uh, that's all I can think of right now happy.gif

^ Tee hee hee! original.gif Great.

Me? I would personally have no problem eating dead humans if needed for survival. I would not kill anyone to eat them though (Good grief, do I really have to stipulate that?) or buy 'human nuggets' from the clone farm. I can't imagine anything that would make eating humans more economical than eating cow or pig or whatever.

I've just come into this thread to say about this. I watched a documentary once on a remote village in Papua New Guinea (I think), anyway, when a family member died they did just this, and as they "drank" the gruel of their loved ones, they were crying and wailing. It was very sad actually, they did it out of respect so their loved one was always with them.
