If anyone wants to kill and eat me, go right ahead
It'll be nicer than dying alone and having my body rot in my apartment till someone eventually checks on me
When the German cannibal Armin Meiwes was on trial, it was actually a legal conundrum. Meiwes' victim had explicitly consented to being killed and eaten, even dictating how he wanted to have it done to himself. So was it murder or more of a convoluted version of assisted suicide ("killing on demand" is the legal term in Germany)? He was eventually convicted of manslaughter and got a prison sentence of eight and a half years, a few years later changed to a sentence for life.
Heh, my partner and I have already had the, "I don't seek it out, but if we're life-and-death stranded and you go first, sorry, you're provisions now" conversation.
but I'm vegan :(. Soooo I think I'll have to sit this one out.
If it's a dietary thing that's fine, but if the person consents to being eaten I don't see any ethical problems.
Cannibalism is the only ethical way to eat meat QED
I see the issue more with relatives, who (today) usually would suffer even more if their loved one's body is eaten by other people.
This reminds me that I don't understand normal people
