Why is do we view canabalism as wrong?

We will eat the wierdest animal parts, overpay to get them and call them delicacies.

We kill eachother in mass all over the world yet alot of people are still starving.

Only small tribal groups still eat people. Why?

Can’t you get like some serious disease from eating human?

@Notsimilarreally thats a rumor from back in the days of Christopher Columbus. Theyre talking about prions disease. It can take like 15 years to show symptoms. But what most likley happened was one tribes person had the disease and when they all shared his brain it spread to others and as the cycle continued for generations.

You can also get it from surgery. Its one of the reasons surgeons have to throw out some of there tools and use new ones after every surgery

@GuyWithOpinions and then any blood borne disease the human had, hepatitis, hiv. Also the body might negativities certain proteins etc found in human flesh….


But anyway I just think it’s morally wrong. Sure we are animals but we were given the gift of consciousness and ability to reason and emotion….. only in life and death situations where you will otherwise die if you don’t eat the flesh it’s just not right to do 🤢

Laughing at myself for answering this question too 😂

@Notsimilarreally cows have diseases too but we eat them. Not every person has a disease. But i understand your moral point.

@GuyWithOpinions diseases form humans may be more contagious to us?

@Notsimilarreally yeah but the peraon has to have the disease first. I guess maybe dont eat people at the hospital? Lol.

Its kinda like saying "i wont have sex with anyone because humans get STDs".
