Let' see if I can think of any:

1. The dead's family and friends may not like that at all.

2. Society may find this disgusting to do.

3. Not healthy?

4. If you don't want to be eaten when you're dead, don't do so yourself.

5. May result in psychological trauma after partaking of the flesh of your fellow human being.

They say no society is more than 3 meals away from revolution, imagine the carnage if there was a food shortage. I'm not sure that's a moral position but it certainly distils the debate for the 'No' camp.

Although I did eat a clown once, it tasted a bit funny.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
