If they're already dead, why not? I heard they taste bad though. Some cultures still eat their dead, it's considered an honor. And if you are say in a plane wreck in the Himalayas or something it may be the only way to survive. In our society though, it may seem a bit rude to start chowing down at the funeral, you should at least wait until loved ones are no longer present... unless of course it's the Himalayas sitiuation. Side: yes

In theory I agree. However, finding a human that isn't pumped full of chemicals and preservatives is going to be a tough ask. I don't think they'd be deemed safe due to the high amount of toxins. I'd quite happily eat Vegan though, it's almost the same as eating organic farmed animals... Side: yes

The reson we don't eat humans is because it is esy to transfer diseases through food. Since most diseases are specific to certain species, it is safer to eat species whose set of diseases doesn't affect us. Eating the mae species increaes the chance of getting sick. BTW, I hear that people taste like pork, I happen to like pork ;) How do I make a smiley with a toothy grin? Side: No

Ok, the fact that you know that you taste like undercooked tofu is interesting in itself! But that's not going to deter a starving friend if you're both stuck in the Himalayas without food and he's stronger than you... muuhaha!! muuhahahaha!!! Now to my argument: Ok, if you're starving somewhere and you have to eat humans to survive (eww, right?) and noone can stop you, great! But that doesn't mean it should be allowed! If I was there, I'd probably say something about it... may be give you half the piece of chocolate I'd been hiding from you the whole time. Side: No
Ok, may be I'd like to taste human once in my life time. I dunno, sounds like something you ought to try before you die... like climbing a mountain or having sex with a sheep out in the fresh open New Zealand meadows before sunset... hmmmm... anyways.... umm ok, because so many people have argued the YES side of the debate, I'm gonna go ahead and support the NO side... it's not as fun I know! Like it or not humans are being consumed by other humans. This doesn't make it right though... I don't know what it is about cannibalism... it's just plain disgusting to even think about... movies exploit this well for entertainment purposes, though... Ok, no we shouldn't be allowed to eat humans because it's a bad thing. We aren't allowed to do bad things are we? We shouldn't be allowed to do bad things... Why is eating human a bad thing to do? It's just bad... actually is there a law against eating a dead corpse? I know it's illegal to make a person die... so if the person is already dead, can we go ahead and fire up the grill? I mean if we wanted to? Side: No
Ok, the other reason why eating humans shouldn't be allowed is that it'll make the job of the post-mortem examiner quite difficult if he wants to ascertain the causes of death. Think about it, if eating humans was allowed and if humans happen to taste delicious and was a highly sought after meat (high demand) thus became quite expensive (due to low supply because we all want to live a long life), then what's to stop witnesses to a murder taking a free chunk of the corpse when noone's looking? I mean an autopsy later on will have to deal with missing chunks and teeth marks everywhere! It'll slow progress right down for any post-mortem examiner in a murder case... Side: No
