Yes, yes they have. This German cannibal says it’s like a stronger tasting pork, hence the nickname ‘long pig’.
Whose cells were they from? Is it me? I bet I’d taste quite gamey, so I’ll pass.
***“It’s a COOKBOOK!” *** :eek:
Ah, to be the technically niggling weasel in the room, I’d say that’s a bit of a wide brush—just because something isn’t a person doesn’t mean it’s not human, or at least not “human-derived.” The biological origin certainly would matter if, say, you were conducting experiments on the vat-tissue, or were growing it for transplant.*
*Possible source of cruelty-free human—rejected transplant clone parts! (“SALE! Heart, en bloc. Mistakenly built on situs inversus growth scaffolding. Must go!” “FIRE SALE! 9 Human Livers, defect free—client-patient died of alcohol poisoning celebrating (third) successful liver implantation.”)
I could go with “human derived”, but so are some hair extensions - no ethical delima there. Still doesn’t make is human, or a person - just a hunk of meat. Now, when science can vat grow a complete, sentient Homo Sapiens, that’s a whole 'nuther debate!
There’s all sorts of synthetically grown meats I’d like to try, but I have no desire to ever know what human flesh tastes like, no matter the technicalities.
Makes no nevermind to me. When I found out that commercial manufacturers were using lecithin derived from human hair to “enhance texture” in baked goods, I was utterly horrified. When a coworker delightedly gave me a sample of her miracle hand cream which turned out to have “human placental extract” in it, it was all I could do to stop scrubbing my hands.
I am completely grossed out by the mere suggestion of using any human-derived product, much less consuming it!
Watch it, pal. You’re talking to human-derived products.
What - Meatloaf again?
(But I’m much better now)
NEXT POLL: would you date someone who ate the people who died in the crash when their plane went down in the Andes?
RE: OP. No. But I’m a vegetarian because I don’t like meat, you know, the texture and the way it tastes. I would have no qualms about eating the people who died in the crash if there were no other food. In fact, if there were a dog in the cargo hold who didn’t make it, I’d still rather eat the dead people.
I don’t think the idea is revolting, but I still put it down as a “Not a chance” because it just seems like a path better not travelled. Getting people used to the idea of eating human flesh seems like it’s just going to encourage a few bad results, and there’s no particular reason for it.
Ah, are we using “human” as in the artistic, philosophical sense, or “human” as in “biologically Homo Sapiens Sapiens”?
(Hey, niggling weasels gotta eat…delicious ape flesh…too.
