There is nothing necessarily unethical or unreasonable about eating human flesh, declare psychologists Jared Piazza and Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University, but careful reasoning over the merits of cannibalism is often “overridden by our feelings of repulsion and disgust.”
While not going so far as to recommend cannibalism, saying “there is no need to overcome our repulsion for the foreseeable future,” the two authors suggest that humans could master their aversion for human flesh if they needed to.
“Many people develop disgust for all kinds of meat, while morticians and surgeons quickly adapt to the initially difficult experience of handling dead bodies,” they note. “Our ongoing research with butchers in England suggests that they easily adapt to working with animal parts that the average consumer finds quite disgusting.”
Moreover, the psychological revulsion experienced over the prospect of consuming human flesh is not the product of reason and may even contradict reason, they argue in Wednesday’s article, which originally appeared last week in The Conversation.
“Survivors of the famous 1972 Andes plane crash waited until near starvation before succumbing to reason and eating those who had already died,” they propose.

I’ve always wanted to be a Head Chef but not this way...
Because disease and parasite transmission is neither unethical or unreasonable?
Stupid people desperate to get published write desperately stupid papers.
; )
Yep, they be zombies
At least in the Andes situation the meat stayed freshly frozen.
eating people is good but plastic straws are bad.
What in the actual F?

I think you are pretty close, since their true agenda is to eliminate the human race.
Can’t imagine nasty human refuse like that would be any good to eat.
So are these geniuses suggesting we butcher people for meat, or are they advocating we eat those who die? I mean what could possibly go wrong from eating those who die of disease, or old age. Maybe just eat the equivalent of road kill? Those young healthy people who die from trauma? Big market in dark meat in the inner cities. Lots of healthy young guys getting shot....
I’ve got a gammy leg . . .
Yes, you know it’s connected with what went on at Epstein Island.
There was a recent report that on that island a waste/sewage outlet to a sea cove was examined and divers found children’s bones among the discharge.
Child sacrifice? In this day and age?
Nah, only conspiracy wackos would believe such a thing.
Problem is, since August 10 of this year, tens of millions of Americans suddenly became conspiracy theorists.
And the FBI Phoenix office published an intel alert that conspiracy theorists are to be viewed as domestic terrorists.
Like hell there's not. It's BOTH unethical AND unreasonable. But trust some relativist psycho(logist) to completely ignore that reality.
It's true that, in the most extreme circumstances, humans have resorted to cannibalism to survive. But even then, the act is so tainted that many would prefer to starve if that was their only other option.
Not even muslimes eat their own. And that is about as primitive and barbaric a people as the earth contains these days.
Jonathan Swift. The same guy who wrote “Gulliver’s Travels.”
Piazza and McLatchie
They have this genetically engineered meat grown in a lab these days. When they first announced that I figured it was just a matter of time before they started selling lab grown human meat. Apparently the Time editors cant wait for that.
I feel you’ve stumbled onto a horrifying possibility. I would put nothing past our ‘overlords’. They certainly don’t seem very interested in stopping it.
