A case for cannibalism in society

[Ace Otana]

Oh, not at all. Once you are dead, you are no longer sapient.

Huh, good point.

You are missing the point here. The question of "why" is up to the cannibals. Maybe they like the taste of human flesh. Maybe it's a cultural thing. Maybe they stupidly believe that eating human flesh would give them special powers or immortality. Maybe because it's a cost-efficient and environmentally sound way of disposing human bodies (both cremation and burial are environmentally wasteful, you know). Whatever justifications, rationalizations or reasons, they are no more relevant than the meat-eater saying "because I like to".

Maybe they're just fucking nuts?
Perhaps they do it through some strange and sick interest in eating other people. I have to question the sanity of such an individual.

What we're talking about here is if there is a justification for them being denied. And so far, the only good point I've seen is incidence of possible diseases.

Well what doesn't make sense is that cannibalism is an act of desperation, and we are hardly desperate for food at this point. It's something that takes place in nature often because animals in the wild face starvation on a daily basis. So why would it be necessary in human societies? It is of course dangerous as well, which also leads to the question as to why anyone would want to do it the in first place? Which then leads me to conclude that they are just fucking nuts.
