Cannibalism: How much is too much?

Based on the recent number of posts regarding the practice, many of you have thought about it.
Here's my question: Under what circumstances would you personally resort to cannibalism, if you knew no jury in the world would convict you?

Me? i'd say a mild sense of agitation at the person involved, but i'm a bit unbalanced.

If it was for survival.

Perhaps I was stranded somewhere with another person. That person was injured somehow, and unable to make the long trek to safety. Both starving, I could make it if I had some energy. The other peoson wouldn't make it either way.

Still, I would hate myself for a good while afterwards. That's really gross and fucked up.

I usually find that too much occures when I am full. Sometimes I just can't stop eating..

If I was a Cow I would resort to cannibalism since I like Beef.
Or if I was a Pig cos porks not too shabby either.

Come on, it couldn't taste that bad; and it wouldn't be too traumatic if you didn't really know the person.

Well, it is murder, that's true. Are you implying that you wouldn't mind if it was served to you, say at a restaurant? What about with a mango chutney?
What if it was someone like the other posters to this thread, who can't spell "Occurs" correctly? Would you still feel bad?

Yeah...just the thought of eating them makes me sick. Killing them...eh...still touchy...

But eating them is still gross...especially if it was served to me. Who knows...I might be next!

I said I would eat Beef If I was a Cow or Pork if I was a Pig (although if I were a muslim or jewish pig I would face quite the moral quandry) I didnt specify eating myself so I am not sure what made you mention autocannibalism.

If they were willing to let you eat them, giving up their survival for yours, wouldn't you feel terrible throwing them up?

No need to be a dick, now.

In all seriousness, it would have to be a case of survival. And maybe they would have to be dead already. I'm not the type to do something for personal gain.

Course I would.

On my moral scale all plants and animals are equal. And since humans are animals and I have to eat something, I would eat human if given the chance.

But I wouldn't kill it. I will not kill anything that moves significantly when I try to kill it.

Except bugs.

i'm a buddhist, so i couldn't agree more, but what about plants? Studies show that many plants, including corn and rice, two of the three largest cache crops in history, communicate distress to one another when their survival is threatened...

Does the fact that I would eat my childs placenta, make me a cannibal. No.

Cooking Your Placenta!
There are several sumptuous recipes around so that you can enjoy cooking and eating your placenta;
this one is for roasting it:-

Work on the basis that each placenta weighs approximately 1/6 of the baby's weight. To prepare a placenta, cut the meat away from the membranes with a sharp knife. Discard the membranes.


Roast Placenta

1-3lb fresh placenta (must be no more than 3 days old)
1 onion
1 green or red pepper (green will add colour)
1 cup tomato sauce
1 sleeve saltine crackers
1 tspn bay leaves
1 tspn black pepper
1 tspn white pepper
1 clove garlic (roasted and minced)

Method
(Preheat oven to 350 degrees)

1. Chop the onion and the pepper & crush the saltines into crumbs.
2. Combine the placenta, onion, pepper, saltines, bay leaves, white and black pepper, garlic and tomato sauce.
3. Place in a loaf pan, cover then bake for one and a half hours, occasionally pouring off excess liquid.

Serve and enjoy!

Dehydrating your placenta!
Instead of cooking your placenta whole, you can dehydrate it and then add it to meals! The following method is extracted from an article entitled "Thinking About Eating Your Placenta?" by Susan James, which appeared in the winter 1996 issue of "The Compleat Mother". It was discovered posted on a newsgroup noticeboard, so we cannot absolutely guarantee its authenticity, or that it is an actual verbatim account of the magazine article.

Method
"Cut off the cord and membranes. Steam the placenta, adding lemon grass, pepper and ginger to the steaming water. The placenta is "done" when no blood comes out when you pierce it with a fork. Cut the placenta into thin slices (like making jerky) and bake in a low-heat oven (200-250 degrees F), until it is dry and crumbly (several hours). Crush the placenta into a powder - using a food processor, blender, mortar and pestle, or by putting it in a bag and grinding it with rocks. Put the powder into empty gel caps (available at drug and health food stores) or just add a spoonful to your cereal, blender drink, etc. The recommended doses vary, some suggest up to 4 capsules a day, others just one. Perhaps the best advice is to take what makes you feel good".

But a placenta isn't human flesh, it's just a sack of protein that was protecting the baby when it was in the womb.

No. It has nothing to do with gerrymandering.

Counties are not determined by population and since all the Kerry supporters are on the coast in the big cities and the rest of the state is Republican, the majority of the counties are Republican.

And Kerry only had 55% of the vote.
