Why are Atheists in America ok with cannibalism through consent

[CapnAwesome]

Hmmmm, it could be. But normally mental illness alone is not a justifiable reason to lock someone away. The normal standard is posing an immediate threat to themselves or others.

So a lot of it depends on the situation. But if it involves just eating a dead person who was going to die anyway, I'm for sure in favor of that. If my close friends and family want to eat me when I die, I'm fine with that.

The other ones are a little more tricky. But I think suicide and murder laws pretty much cover all of them. You can get them mental health treatment if they are an immediate threat to themselves or others.

I don't think the one doing the eating should have any consequences, unless murder or coersion were involved.

I guess I'm the atheist the troll was referencing.

Most jurisdictions, at least in the US, have laws forbidding the desecration of a corpse. I may be wildly off base, but I think butchering, cooking and consuming one would run afoul of those laws.

That might be true, but I think if you have consent it should be something different. I mean I can donate my body to science I should be able to donate it to the hungry.
