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.

Well in the Pacific Islands the tradition was to eat one’s enemies. But they made one huge mistake. You should never eat the liver of a predator, because that’s where all the poisons are stored, but that’s exactly what they would do, eat the liver. Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Hahahahaha... I am going to lunch with some family morrow. I am so booking it under Donner.
I wrote a paper on A Modest Proposal in High School.
Buffet at Newsweak!
Just a hunch - These guys are vegans trying to make people think about their need to eat meat.
Donner!
Donner,
Party of Eight!
Anyone have any good recipes?......
Days of Noah?
Didn’t the Titans eat people by the thousands when they ran out of food being produced for them? I vaguely remember the Book of Enoch stating such.
My husband used to tell me, when we were discussing ‘apocalypse’, that if I were desperate, his gluteus maximus and top of thigh would be the tenderest and tastiest.
Now that he’s learned to butcher and cook meat, he’s talking about ‘hocks’ and other parts; marinades; lots of black pepper to cut the sweetness; studding with garlic, and ‘browned butter finish’.....and maybe some rosemary (fresh, not dried.)
I believe the Mad Cow variant is caused by eating brain tissue.
They maybe know the tribulation is coming soon and don’t want to get arrested when they dine on their neighbors after the food runs out?
These people are insane.
I put up a sign in the company break room that said “Alferd Packer Memorial Break Room”.
It stayed up for nearly a year before someone caught on...
Only liberals could come up with something like this.
They are sick SOB’s.
I guess the push for eating bugs didn’t work so now it’s on to long pig.
