    diseases often don’t cross species very well. Consumption of animals that aren’t genetically close to you is inherently safer than eating human

    especially if they died by natural means as that normally means they were sick. A healthy killed animal is far safer to eat than a human that died of illness in many ways

      that’s a good observation, but this discussion is still kind of besides the point. yes, eating human meat is dangerous, but is it dangerous enough to forbid or merely to educate/mitigate risks?

        I don’t live in a country where it is a traditional funeral rite so my opinion there doesn’t really matter

        I definitely don’t want commodity production of human meat
