Ew.
There are rules/laws about the handling of dead bodies.
Yeah, dump ‘em in the ocean and let the sharks eat them. That’s so much better.
Tell that to the Donner party.
“There are rules/laws about the handling of dead bodies.”
This was in international waters but just for fun I looked up Florida law. This is the closest I could get to the situation. Perhaps obtaining vital nutrients would be considered bona fide medical purpose?
(2) A person who mutilates, commits sexual abuse upon, or otherwise grossly abuses a dead human body commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. Any act done for a bona fide medical purpose or for any other lawful purpose does not under any circumstance constitute a violation of this section.
Any landlubbers on this thread need to read up on the story of the ESSEX and a slew of others. Cannibalism for sailors adrift is more common and better for society on the whole than a Mombasan Marxist Homosexual “Post-American” President. Get with the program: Nobody WANTS to eat a friend, but starvation can force... lots.
Those rules don’t apply on the high seas.
