Would you eat a human?

[Sithara007]

I think that every person can be brought to this action. Some hunger, some other factors and promises of immortality or power. Everything depends on the price of the issue.

Does cannibalism give you immortality? A few months back, I saw a documentary on the ongoing cannibalism in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The militiamen believe that they will get the powers of their enemies, if they eat their liver and heart.

Some of the African tribes considered pygmys to be some form of monkey and hunted them as general bush meat.  So I read.  That was/is slightly North of DRC.  Sucks to be a pygmy.

What if it was the sacrificed child of your enemy? What if it gave you secret powers? What if it held the key to world domination? Would you do it? Would you eat another person?

Seriously mate? When i think i eat human, i feel sick. If that really true or happen then we have no choice and eat even its disgusting if you think it. Before i only watch zombie eating human, but now if this happen, human to human is eating others. Waaaaa

eeating humans can give you a lot of different diseases. There is a thing called prions. Prions are this part of a human that will basically cause you problems in your mouth when you eat them. It reacts negatively to your inside of your body as it is toxic in a way, it causes holes in your tongue or cheek/mouth and will cause problems inside you too.

How can you confirm your statement ? Did you try it before ?
I don't think this is scientifically true. And I don't eat humans of course lol

[gadimbrut]

I will not eat others for personal gain, I will be myself and will not sacrifice others, that is my principle

[flag39]

NO NO
I am considering not to eat animals  too.

[nsasuiteb]

No, If I have to, I will eat myself lol.

[Ziomuro27]

There are some people who eat there own kind the most known example of this is the tribe people in other country or what we called cannibals,  cannibal is a person who eats the flesh of human beings or an animal that eats its own kind, but for me as a good human being who live happy and thankful to the gifts that i get from God my answer will be no i will not eat my own kind.

 the social stigma of cannibalism and, you know, the murder part, there is another important reason why consuming human flesh is not a universal practice: it can be deadly. Prion diseases, a group of uncommon and deadly brain diseases, can be spread by eating the contaminated flesh of humans or other animals.

[8ouch]

No way, give me some exotic food but I'll never eat human flesh.

[supine]

Maybe if I have no choice, I might do it to survive. I think everyone would do it. It's our nature to find ways to survive.

[savecoin]

i would not try such

[ViperMaxi]

iam never eat a human
whatever my condition iam still never eat a human

[kuyaJ]

Even when were only two in that place i want to suicide my self than eating my fellow man. I didn't choose eating a human. China i think they have plan when the year ends or something happen that they need an supply of food they have no choice so some people eat they own fellow person.

eating human flesh would be nice. it would become one of the greatest culinary i ever tasted.

Some people that has eaten human flesh has actually reported that it is by far the tastiest meat they've ever had. Crazy tender and a very special taste. I've never done it so I could not tell you if it is true or not but I could get behind what they are saying as it does make sense.

Hopefully I'll never be in a situation where I have to eat human flesh but you never know.

Mother Nature and God has you covered.

Kuru is a very rare, incurable neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. Kuru is caused by the transmission of abnormally folded prion proteins, which leads to symptoms such as tremors, loss of coordination, and neurodegeneration.

The term kuru derives from the Fore word kuria or guria ("to shake"), due to the body tremors that are a classic symptom of the disease and kúru itself means "trembling". It is now widely accepted that kuru was transmitted among members of the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea via funerary cannibalism. Deceased family members were traditionally cooked and eaten, which was thought to help free the spirit of the dead. Females and children usually consumed the brain, the organ in which infectious prions were most concentrated, thus allowing for transmission of kuru. The disease was therefore more prevalent among women and children.

While the Fore people stopped eating human meat half a century ago, the disease lingered due to kuru’s long incubation period of anywhere from 10 to over 50 years. The epidemic declined sharply after discarding cannibalism, from 200 deaths per year in 1957 to 1 or no deaths annually in 2005, with the last known kuru victim dying in 2009.

Casual cannibalism is not just sin, it is basically just another mechanism by which you voluntarily remove yourself outside of human race and gene pool.

Engaging in cannibalism on a regular basis can indeed be dangerous and there's scientific evidence that points towards the risks. Eating human flesh at one instance, one life threatening instance which could save your life is however not dangerous as long as you don't continue to engage in said activities afterwards.

The main portion of replies in this thread are basically "I'd never ever under any circumstances eat human flesh". That is something I'm questioning as it is programmed in our brain to eat whatever, whenever, if the situation is as such that we could die. Getting sick or not is out of the question at that stage. The brain does not discriminate.

I'd rather die than eat a human.

Only my enemy's child   - 2 (0.9%)
Only to survive   - 60 (26.9%)

Hell no   - 128 (57.4%)

There are 2 people who said will have a grudge to their enemy's child.
60 for survival which is conditional and is really happening.
11 for secret powers which is crazy.
22 for yes, real mad crazy people.
128 who has a decent mind.

[Xester]

I'd rather die than eat a human.

Me too.  Besides I am sure that if ever you will be placed on that situation you will find a way just to survive.  You will not make option to eat human just to survive.  There are plants and animals that are edible.  Let just focus on the plants for sure there will be plants around you that can be eaten.  If you are in the place near the sea, snails, crustaceans and the likes will be your meal.

[Arahara0230]

No. I willl never eat a human just to survive. I'd rather die hungry than eat other people flesh.
