Why are Atheists in America ok with cannibalism through consent

[The Industrial Atheist]

But seriously, except in survival situations, eating people isn't cool. In a case where you would almost surely die without eating human flesh, it may be the most moral option. I don't think people that have done so in such situations deserve condemnation. But eating people for shits and giggles or because it give you a feeling of power and control-definitely not cool.

I wonder if an atheist owns the BBQ restaurant on Donner Pass?

Literally the most famous atheist on youtube (The Amazing Atheist) is a proponent of consensual cannibalism and wants to be eaten on his deathbed through this form of consent.

Now you have some intel

The Amazing Atheist is a fat idiot you does stuff for shock because it gets him viewers  .I doubt he was serious TJ does not have enough conviction to advocate anything .

I don't like him either, and I don't agree with consensual cannibalism.

And don't think for a second he's being serious

What is morally wrong with consensual cannibalism, other than it being icky?

I've thought about it, and it's the obvious presence of mental illness on one or both sides that presents a problem. You can't sign a legally-binding contract if you're nuts. You can't agree to be eaten because it means you're nuts, so we'd have no way of discerning whether the people involved were of sound mind. Also, it would usually constitute murder (it's murder even if the victim agrees to it, as the law stands), which is bad. It's a different story if the victim does the killing, but there's still the question of mental stability, which I think is insurmountable.

I would be more concerned about where you get your intel.

AN atheist =/= atheists. Intel invalid.

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.

Whatever the moral or legal ramifactions, if any.....I;m pretty sure that people eating people is a sign that shit has gone sideways.  

There are only two genres the sentence "and then he ate her" can legitimately fit into.....
