Why do we need to overcome the taboo of cannibalism?

So that we can eat dead people? Just a wild guess...

I personally would rather keep the taboo and...you know, not eat dead people.

I'm not sure why he thinks we should try it other than "could be an 'interesting test case' for 'consequentialist morality versus "yuck reaction" absolutism.' "

Stop playing with our emotions Richard. No one wants to eat human meat.

Curiosity, maybe. He certainly looks interested in the prospect of testing consequentialism and absolutism with it. Of course, it turns out there's not much to question about how human meat tastes. Explorer William Seabrook once met with an African cannibal tribe. They did not let him take part in a ritual, but he eventually decided to take some human flesh (a rump steak, spit-roasted) from a hospital and eat it. Here's what he said:
William Seabrook Wrote:It was like good, fully developed veal, not young, but not yet beef. It was very definitely like that, and it was not like any other meat I had ever tasted. It was so nearly like good, fully developed veal that I think no person with a palate of ordinary, normal sensitiveness could distinguish it from veal. It was mild, good meat with no other sharply defined or highly characteristic taste such as for instance, goat, high game, and pork have. The steak was slightly tougher than prime veal, a little stringy, but not too tough or stringy to be agreeably edible. The roast, from which I cut and ate a central slice, was tender, and in color, texture, smell as well as taste, strengthened my certainty that of all the meats we habitually know, veal is the one meat to which this meat is accurately comparable.
So, just get some veal, pretend it's human, and maybe give the part you're about to eat the name of someone you hate.

I am rather curious about lab-grown meat, but not human. But tis emerging technology (if it can be called that) could lead to flavors that don't even exist in the culinary world now. Outdo the perfect filet mignon (whatever that would even be). Etc.
