Ok, so we've started an interesting debate in my thread which I felt would be interesting to expand into GD.
Basically is it actually illegal to eat humans?
Before people say of course, from research so far it suggests that actually it may not actually be illegal.
Clearly if you kill someone to do it you can be charged with murder.
If you dig someone up you can be charged with disturbance of the peace.
If you assist in suicide you can be charged with such.
Notably if someone cuts into themselves, and doesn't die - so you cause no harm, there is no legal coverage of what you can do in the uk, so it isn't technically illegal.
Taken from this. Would cannibalism be illegal if:
The person commits unassisted suicide.
They give permission for their body to be eaten post humorously
However weird that sounds, is it technically illegal?
I mean it is clearly not recommended, however if someone can give permission to have their body mummified on national television, then I can't see what is wrong with giving permission for this is you really want to...
