Would you eat human flesh?

I would give it a nibble, just to satisfy my curiosity, then I would never eat human again...

Couldn't, wouldn't. I don't think I could if I was starving. I've never actually been starving, but it's just so... not right.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!

What about replicated human meat (if it could be done)? This scenario reminds me of an arthur c clarke short story

I would, but only if my life depended on it, and if it tasted good.

As far as I have heared it tastes more like horse then like pork, that is more sweet the pork. Haven't tried neither (human/horse), so this is second hand info at best.

I would hope that I, under extreme conditions, could eat humans, if the alternative was to buy myself a Darwin Award for starving while within reach of a viable food source.

One important note for prospective chefs: humans carry deceases, and these don't even have to make a species jump to infect the diners, so remember to cook the meat well!
(this also prevents the transmittance of, among other things, some very nasty muscle-eating parasites that are spread between carnivores that eat carnivores, remember most humans are not vegetarians. If you are also without fire to cook the corpse over, endevor to eat only vegetarians) ;)

No, I wouldn't, unless I was starving and even then, perhaps. Not so much for the fact that I'm eating somebody, but for the fact if people start liking it, do you really want to live in a world where the chances of you being eaten are the same as being murdered by some psycho?

Eating human flesh is just sick. I would never consider it for one minute. If it stood between eating human flesh and dying, I would prefer to die.
