Why Cannibalism is Good, Actually : THE THREAD
so, first we need to look at what the common arguments against cannibalism are. the most general one is an argument from a moral position, that these things are inherently wrong for whatever category they so choose to define their ethics by. this is, in effect, utter horseshit.
argument one: "there isn't consent!" (1/?)
there can be. there are instances where people have consented to being eaten either before death or when a part of them is served. here's a pretty thought-provoking article on the subject https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/gykmn7/legal-ethical-cannibalism-human-meat-tacos-reddit-wtf

argument two: "it's not normal!" (2/?)
this argument is one of the most common ones i hear: it is bad simply for it's taboo quality. this is a pov that is surprisingly modern and very eurocentric, as many cultures throughout history have and still continue to consume human flesh

argument three: Long-Pig (3/?)
I think it's funny when meat-eaters rail against cannibalism when, in effect, it's just another piece of flesh. eating a ribeye steak isn't much different than taking a slice out of your mate Charlie and grilling and seasoning his now severed flesh

for the future -- (4/?)
honestly, i want to be consumed when i die. i think it would be a good thing to do, just so long as my future family doesn't fuck up too much and overcook me. and for the love of god, use some good spices!

EDIT: ABOUT PRIONS
now, people in the replies have mentioned degenerative diseases that have been contracted by those eating human flesh. however i provide a counterpoint to this.
there are numerous diseases one can contract eating bad meal regularly. eg salmomella, e coli, etc

most of the time, these diseases are contracted because the meat has not been handled in a sanitary way or, usually, has beem severely undercooked.
listen, im not saying go and chop up a homie and cook them. im saying that this topic is treated as taboo when its fairly common
