Isn't cannibalism something like slavery, where the consenting adult paradigm should not hold?

The "victim" in this situation saw an ad, answered it and agreed with the process. Can we say that about, say, Frederick Douglass, Harriett Tubman or Kunta Kinte?

And, if Bob runs an ad for a slave, and Bill agrees to become his slave, from where do we get the authority to say that's wrong? Consenting adults, right? And if we say, "you can't buy his servitude, slavery's illegal," what if they call each other "master" and "slave" and no money changes hands while Bill works for Bob for free in perpetua? Consenting adults, right?
