Question for thread libertarians--

We all know that bums sell their bodies to medical schools for medical experimentation after they die. Medical schools could not teach without this.

So, let's say I'm a libertarian and I believe that the only immoral act is the initiation of force, fraud or coercion. Furthermore, I am not opposed to any behavior that is not voluntarily contracted.

So, I open up a restaurant that buys peoples' bodies to reprocess as food in my restaurant, called the Gunga Diner. Note--people voluntarily contract to give me their bodies after they die of natural causes (no force initiated) and my customers freely agree to eat human flesh. For a libertarian, there should be no problem with this right?

How about it libertarians? Voluntarily contracted cannibalism ok with you guys?
