If anyone wants to kill and eat me, go right ahead
It'll be nicer than dying alone and having my body rot in my apartment till someone eventually checks on me

U live in Germany?
Endocannibalism - eating people from your own group -has been practised as a respectful part of funerial traditions by a handful of cultures across the world and may have been more widespread in prehistory.
Yeah so has ritualistic rape of boys to instill them with manhood. Historical precedent does not infer a normative ethical framework in any direction.
Once had an actual paedophile use that example as a reason it's okay. Completely fucked up
Prions are a big problem for cannibalism since they resist high temperature. So they're still deadly even if the "meat" is well cooked. That said, Bones And All was a great film about cannibalism. And it was romantic, in a fucked-up way.
Yea just dont eat the brain you should be fine
My main gripe is that humans don't have much meat on them. It works in a pinch, but the effort needed to eat so far outside of our normal pallette isn't worth it.
That said, I would be in favor of letting nature decompose our bodies more. I hate having to waste so much effort on disposing of bodies, especially once I die. I want my body to get torn apart by animals, not buried with holy rites. Mummification is the only burial practice that seems kinda cool. Cremation seems unnecessary, especially if I can get eaten by something instead. Just take what's useful, chop me up a bit, and throw me in the compost!
Just dump me in a forest somewhere
That can kinda be arranged, actually. Something that came up during one of Caitlin Doughty's videos is a nature preserve type place in Florida that they protect by burying people there to decompose naturally. I'm not going to look for more info about this on Christmas though, lol.

Heh, my partner and I have already had the, "I don't seek it out, but if we're life-and-death stranded and you go first, sorry, you're provisions now" conversation.
but I'm vegan :(. Soooo I think I'll have to sit this one out.
If it's a dietary thing that's fine, but if the person consents to being eaten I don't see any ethical problems.
Cannibalism is the only ethical way to eat meat QED

I see the issue more with relatives, who (today) usually would suffer even more if their loved one's body is eaten by other people.
This reminds me that I don't understand normal people
