Would I kill another human to eat them? No. Would I eat them if they had already died? Probably. Actually, human meat is quite tasty - similar to
veal.

Prior to 1931, New York Times reporter William Buehler Seabrook, allegedly in the interests of research, obtained from a hospital intern at the
Sorbonne a chunk of human meat from the body of a healthy human killed in an accident, then cooked and ate it. He reported, "It was like good,
fully-developed veal, not young, but not yet beef. It was very definitely like that, and it was not like any other meat I had ever tasted. It was so
nearly like good, fully developed veal that I think no person with a palate of ordinary, normal sensitiveness could distinguish it from veal. It was
mild, good meat with no other sharply defined or highly characteristic taste such as for instance, goat, high game, and pork have. The steak was
slightly tougher than prime veal, a little stringy, but not too tough or stringy to be agreeably edible. The roast, from which I cut and ate a central
slice, was tender, and in color, texture, smell as well as taste, strengthened my certainty that of all the meats we habitually know, veal is the one
meat to which this meat is accurately comparable."
***I don't believe that any of us could eat human flesh for long periods of time, due to the diseases that can and do occur such as "laughing
sickness".

Kuru is an incurable degenerative neurological disorder that is a type of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, caused by a prion found in
humans.[1] The term "kuru" derives from the Fore word "kuria/guria" ("to shake"),[2] a reference to the body tremors that are a classic symptom
of the disease; it is also known among the Fore as the laughing sickness due to the pathologic bursts of laughter people would display when afflicted
with the disease. It is now widely accepted that Kuru was transmitted among members of the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea via cannibalism.
