Would you eat a human?

[Manuj]

Nope, it's not so healthy food. Holesterine, viruses, parasites, prions, etc.

Even if it is scientifically proven to be the most nutritious of meat, I still do not eat human.

My god, it is beyond my imagination.

[gogolang]

Yess of course

[Eminem23]

No, I can not do it consciously. It's horrible. People have long experienced the times when such actions were considered normal. We live in a civilized world

[Prem.Soorajpaul]

Human meat is just like any other meat. The sale of human meat must be legalized and regulated. Thereby we can reduce the overpopulation issue as well.

[petreajs]

No most people are rotten

[Hhampuz]

Whatever form and its benefits I will never do such a thing.
Just as you eat your own meat, iiiih "disgusting

So even if someone has kidnapped your family and threatens to rape and torture them for a year until they die of starvation and all you have to do to save them is to eat a bit of human flesh, you'd never do it? Really? Even if someone threatens to do the same to you? It's pretty stupid to make such statements as "I'd never do such a thing, regardless of it's benefits". Think about it.

Perhaps what he meant was that he would never eat human meat under "normal" circumstances. It is easy to be a keyboard warrior. But when you face real situations, what you had practiced in theory may not be practical in real life. But I agree with you. People should not be over-confident about themselves.

You are probably correct. I doubt there's a lot of people in the world that would eat another human under normal circumstances unless they are mentally ill. I recently brought this topic up to a closed group of people where some of them said that they'd never ever be able to do it, under any circumstances. I just don't think they know how our body and mind reacts when survival instict kicks in. In the end that is what drives us - instinct and a will to live. I may have been a bit raw in the example I gave but considering I could think of it I don't put it past anyone to be able to do that to someone else.

Those in Australasia almost always have a ritual purpose. Maybe they don't really need the protein.  

I don't hear much about South America though. Whenever I think of brutal there, the only thing that came to my mind are the shrunken heads. Do they eat the body of those?

Cannibalism (of all types) was extremely common in South America (perhaps with the exception of the Inca-Patagonia areas). Before the genocide by the Europeans, the natives had no taboo against eating human meat. They regarded human meat just like any other type of meat. In fact, human meat was much more valued than animal meat.

Yikes, that's a bit disgusting. Well, maybe not so weird considering the Aztecs rip out hearts and chop of heads during religious festivals. I don't know if the Inca eat humans but they do sacrifice them.

Guess that's the only thing the conquistadors did right. They were horrified when they saw the Aztec rituals.

[Babylon]

Well maybe if I have no choice, for example if I'm trapped on an island or something. As a human it's our nature to find ways to
survive, so I guess it's possible. I've seen it in movies a lot, there's some real stories where people ate humans just to survive.
But if ever that would happen to me I'll make sure I'll cook it well, I can't imagine eating raw meat, I might be able to
survive starvation but it might make me feel sick.

[Cryptolution]

f*ck no... would never eat an other person wth.... not even if it's an life or death situation...

[Hhampuz]

Welp, you obviously have no clue about how the human mind works or how it reacts to certain situations. We are animals in the core with an instinct to survive and live, doing whatever it takes to not die.

Please let me know how that works out for you bud.

[Senkuli]

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?

No, I will not eat humans, because I do not believe that by eating humans we can have secret power. Only gods have secret powers, and that we can feel when we pray and ask God when we need God's help. That's the real secret power.

[Douglasyukanov]

If only in this world only human flesh can be eaten, for the sake of my survival will eat

[bryant.coleman]

If you go without food or water for 2-3 days, then your brain will become incapable of making any rational decision. You can't predict what you will do in such a situation. I am not saying that everyone who face such a situation will do anything they can in order to survive. But there will be a lot of people, who will do the extremes just to remain alive.

[betMaster]

These thing can only be done in life or death situations . The human being would do anything to survive it's in our nature.

Life is more important than anything else. Staying alive is higher in priority when compared to following your religious taboos and dietary restrictions. If you are not alive, then what is the use in following the religious practices?

A very dumb question. That will never happen no matter how hungry we can not eat cannibalism. Previously, it is also said that: in the days when hungry people eat roots to survive. They must eat human flesh to live. It is the past and will never repeat.

[seinzein]

oh dear.
to imagine it is really disgusting, better die in hungry than eat a human
it's like eat ourselves, :/.

[deejhay]

if theres no food and there's a dead body beside, yeah sure.
the question is if i could because i know i'm gonna throw up even before taking a bite

[Xester]

Well even if you will not throw up, the tendency I think will be you also going to be dead.  For sure it has many bacteria and germs that lurking on the dead body beside you.  Maybe there is more things around you that is edible and quite reasonable to eat.  Well I wish it would never happen either.

[risk91]

No way. Even if on the earth the last thing to eat is human, i would prefer to die without eating rather than eating human being. We are the creation of god and if we keep eating us then only fear would live within us.
