I would be worried about disease first, but if it’s your own cells maybe there’s less chance? Prions are terrifying

My second question would be taste

If there’s no disease and it tastes good then fuck yeah all in

Rolder ,

Isn’t cannibalism a good way to get prion based diseases? Or is that only if you eat other people

Saledovil ,

If you’re eating yourself, no. If you have a disease to pass on, you can’t catch the disease, because you already have it.

gens ,

You can’t eat the brain. AFIK, never tried human.

To me that’s more ethical than killing of billions of animals, and the latter is considered ethical. I wouldn’t do that because that would feel weird, but not unethical.

AlligatorBlizzard ,

Remember that guy on Reddit who claims he had to have his leg amputated and he somehow got to keep it, and he and his friends cooked and ate it?

That’s weird, but as long as it remains their own, or consenting others, I think it’s fine. The minute capitalism gets involved I think it becomes exploitative and unethical - long pork in the grocery store fundamentally should not be a thing.

GluWu ,

God help me if I live in some commie zone where they take my amputated body parts to give to everyone. I grew those and they’re mine! Fuck your science, I wanna eat my foot.

Who gave a Resident Evil villager access to Lemmy 💀

molten ,

Fuck, I’ve always wanted to eat human meat anyway. I’d kill for a sample like this. I don’t care about morals here. I’m a vegetarian. I just want to know. If my buddy was like “ayy we’re eating Dan from accounting’s arm tonight” I’d be there with no questions asked. The police can sort it out.

I mean, if you’d kill for that you don’t need the kit.

I don’t want to eat human meat, but I don’t mind if you kill that asshole from accounting.

I mean… its definitely ethical, its just also freak behaviour 😅

without causing harm to animals

  • Humans are animals
  • Growing me-steak and eating it causes psychic damage
  • Therefore, an animal was harmed
Godric OP ,

If we cultured cells from someone with an autocannibalism fetish, would it then be OK?

Like I take 1d4 psychic damage whenever I see furries at cons, but I don’t think they should have to be banned

Ziglin ,

I don’t think you can generalize that. I’d love to have little me-steaks and I’d even share them with friends, especially if they can be a Möbius strip.

As long as the human chooses to grow their me-steaks themselves I see no issue.

fox2263 ,

Is this technically cannibalism?

Godric OP ,

This is by definition cannibalism

fox2263 ,

Full self cannibalism. Like consuming ones own various fluids

Godric OP ,

No, ethically more like chopping off a leg for dinner than eating boogers.

fox2263 ,

*growing a leg from boogers

It’s worse, so much worse even though it shouldn’t be

fox2263 ,

That could be useful at night during hayfever season

Godric OP ,

And eating people is useful during nofoodbigstarve season, but is it right though?

fox2263 ,

I’d let you have a little nibble to live

Soulg ,

Of course it’s ethical, unless I’m seriously misunderstanding something you literally have to make the decision to buy it and then partake in it.

I guess you can use it unethically but by default intended usage it’s fine

blindbunny ,

Carnists well do anything to eat meat

Jiggle_Physics ,

Oh no, meat grown in a way that doesn’t harm sentient beings! How awful!

VaalaVasaVarde ,

Oh come on veggist, I eat you and you eat me, in a consensual lab grown way.

And I am just kidding, not even sure I am on board with this, i think eating lab grown cow meat would be less upsetting.

ignotum ,

Man-made man-steaks beyond my comprehension

hungryphrog ,

This is kinda cool, but maybe make it plant-based instead?

Godric OP ,

We aren’t made of plants, how could this be a man made horror if we ate nerd ass veggies at the end of this???

VaalaVasaVarde ,

The perfect gift for RimWorld players.

Godric OP ,

Hush, its so imperfect, it only makes meat, not Cowboy Hats made out of Cowboys

Sanctus ,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

I mean you have to buy it on your own accord, culture your own cells, and then successfully cook and eat them. As long as you aren’t stealing other people’s cells to eat them without their consent it seems more ethical than the current meat industry.

Godric OP ,

But it’s still cannibalism, yeah? If someone consented to be eaten before they died or even wished for it, would you be OK with eating them?

jws_shadotak ,

would you be OK with eating them

are they yummy ?

Godric OP ,

Haven’t tried it, you’ll have to make your own judgement there!

Sanctus ,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

We have to draw some sort of line here though. Will this give you prions? Does this end the person’s life like traditional cannibalism usually does? Theres a lot to unpack in these tiny man steaks. I’d still rather people be growing their own meat at home in a petri dish than having animals locked in cages for eternity.

Godric OP ,

In the current hypothetical:

  1. It’s screened, you can’t legally sell prion meat
  2. It’s taken nonlethally as a sample from a consenting human, possibly you
Astronauticaldb ,

So, if it were the original cells, then it would be autocannibalism, since these are cloned cells (from what I gather) it’s technically not the same thing. [Edit: Personally, it’s a bit of a tossup in my mind. I don’t think it’s unethical, but it’s still a weird thing]

Godric OP ,

Yeah, I’m also unsure how I feel about it, I asked because it’s such a strange thing to think about

garbagebagel ,

This is unironically one of my favourite questions to ask new friends. I’ve gotten a variety of answers, but my own response has always been yes, if the person was healthy and had clearly consented.

In my opinion, cannibalism is bad for two main reasons, 1) it can be unsafe if the person was ill, the meat has spoiled, or if it’s done too often (this has been studied in cannibalistic rituals) and 2) it’s unethical if the person doesn’t consent to it.

Eating animal meat is non consensual and there can be diseases in there too - many people have died from it. Just because it’s more socially acceptable, I don’t really see it as an ethically better decision.

I would 100% at least try my own home grown meat cells.

Godric OP ,

Damn, I love your response, even though I don’t know of I agree! Are you Vegan?

I personally see it as No, because I see us humans as special. Speaking as an atheist, end of day, we are special as humans.

I eat meat, I try to limit it to the ethically harvested. Hunted, family farm grown, it even tastes the best, any concerns aside. But eating a person is WRONG, consent or no.

idiomaddict ,

As long as it’s not coerced, yes (not the brain).

stealing other people’s cells to eat them

This will become a sex thing for sure

Aggravationstation ,

I made a post about that a while ago: feddit.uk/post/14228639

There’s a (pretty great) movie where cannibalism is treated as a substitute for sex. It’s called Aamis.

And what if you don’t own a Honda?
