Vulnerable spadefoot tadpoles eat their smaller competitors to speed towards toadhood as quickly as possible. Gulls and pelicans are among bird species that eat hatchlings for food or to prevent the spread of disease. In insect species such as the praying mantis or the Australian redback spider, males offer their bodies as a final gift to females after mating.
It's more common than you'd think in mammals too. Many rodent mothers may eat some of their young if they're sick, dead, or too numerous to feed. Bears and lions kill and eat the offspring of adult females to make them more receptive to mating. Chimpanzees sometimes cannibalize unlucky rivals, usually infants, seemingly for the mere opportunity of some extra protein.
For humans though, cannibalism is the ultimate taboo. In fact, our aversion to cannibalism is so strong that consent and ethics count for little.

Kuru...new guineans ate relatives who had died...to get the good values of their kin...wouldnt be surprised if moronials believe that is true.
What the hell is wrong with lefties? Is there no evil sin that they will not celebrate.
I think that before this leftist lunatic period ends there will have to be a brutal, vicious civil war.
Doh!
Animal Rationale, as even the pagans once said. As a Christian, I would paraphrase C. S. Lewis by saying, Embodied Soul.
Such do not eat their own if they want to live up to their spiritual heritage.
Lifeboat Ethics are anathema to me. There are worse things than dying.
(I have heard heretics who adore Fuller Theological Seminary actually affirm Lifeboat Ethics.)
Yes. Insects and annelids.
P.S. I like your tagline.
Kuru?
