Apes and Monkeys are descendants of Humans, people eat those and are perfectly fine. Where is your evidence?

You wouldn't really want to eat something or someone that has just died randomly or been in an accident.
So to get the meat you'd have to kill someone, i guess that's were it gets morally wrong.

Alive. That was a true story too. I think it was the Uruguayan rugby team or something. Some of the survivors met those Chilean miners when they were rescued from that collapsed mine.

Also, I don't think cannibalism is actually a crime in this country.

Legal status is one thing, morally another.

Not really, millions of people die everyday and there are perfectly good avenues of obtaining human meat without killing.

I would imagine that if it was remotely legal/acceptable/not completely and utterly just wrong, we would have people killing for the act of food.

The law won't change whether someone wants to do it or not, and it currently being legal doesn't stop people who want to do it, from doing it.

Legal doesn't mean "right", I think more people should learn this.

How would cannabis be morally wrong?? Is drinking wine morally wrong??

stupid thread.

Because in the Western world the common practise is to lay them to rest by way of burial/cremation. I wouldn't want people eating my family if they died and I wouldn't want to eat my family either which I'm sure would be a pretty common view.

I think it is wrong because there is no good condiments to go with it..it's very unexplored territory.

Atheists are always telling me as long as two homosexuals are consenting then homosexuality itself is not wrong. I thought very well, and brought to their attention the case of Armin Meiwes. He ate someone who consented to being ate. Yet Armin Meiwes was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. I have asked the atheists numerous times to tell me why such an act is wrong if they were both consenting yet I've never heard one give me a good reason why. I can say it's truly wrong from my perspective, but atheists can certainly not, and that is a dangerous viewpoint.

derp?

you seem to be confusing a number of different concepts here

OP, would you happily eat human meat?

West Indian Hot Sauce, it works with everything

How would consent be dealt with, a variation of the doner card?

Stop thinking.

I've always suspected people on this forum wanted a bit of manburger.

I think he needs to start thinking.

He's confusing logic with morality.

This again, atheism is not a set of belief but merely outlines people who do not believe deity exists. Buddhists are atheists. Atheists do not have a book that unifies their opinions.

It's has been explained to you countless times, I call for ban as you must be trolling at this point.

The same could be said regarding incest.

If two adult brothers, both consenting, neither a dominant personality and 100% out of their own free will and desire decide to have an incestual relationship, why is it morally wrong?

You, a Christian, would say it’s against your religion.

An atheist, ??

It's morally wrong because Armin killed the guy to eat him. It's one think eating someone, but if you have to kill them first it's suddenly a lot worse!
