Okay so I have some demented friends! The discussion last night turned to cloning replacement organs in pigs thru genetic manipulation. This brought up a very unique twist. If you were to start this would that then mean that the pig could still be eaten or would that constitute cannibalism? And if you ate the pig that had been manipulated with your genes would that mean that you were a self-eating cannibal?

A self-eating cannibal, no. I believe technically species has to match, but if the flesh in question is biologically human, I'd say it qualifies.
If it's part of the pig that isn't biologically human, then you probably shouldn't feel too guilty.

This is what happens when you discuss genetic manipulation while doing gravity bong hits.
Shame on you.
Start out light...just roll one.
I dont think anyone would really give it that much consideration.
If youre not a vegetarian or one o' them crazy vegans, animals are on the menu.
I live in Michigan, and although in the suburbs, eating an animal you may have met, is a possibility.
You just dont think about it.
I dont think eating an animal that grew you a new liver is too much different than eating one you may have raised.
One just carries a bit of your genetic material.
Dont think about it.
Bacon is tasty.
