Is interfamilial cannibalism worse than normal cannibalism?

11 Comments

Here's the hypothetical scenario I want you to imagine: Your mom appears to you in a dream and she's holding a contract and a quill with blue ink. You don't actually read the contract, but because it's a dream you can just infer what the contract says. The contract says that, if you sign, your mom would have the legal right to eat your corpse once you die. Also because it's a dream you involuntarily sign the contract. Then you wake up. That morning you notice blue ink on your hand, and when you see your mom later that week she winks at you knowingly. Would this scenario be less uncomfortable if it was a complete stranger instead of your mother?

Yes 8
No, scenario would be worse with a complete stranger 3
It'd be equally bad regardless of who it was 9

    I think it's better if people starve to death than become cannibals.

    It depends on the larger situation.

    If the scenario is a total collapse of civilisation and widespread starvation, I'd obviously much prefer to be eaten by a close relatives than by some random asshole. If there was nobody alive whom I was genetically related to, then I wouldn't give a damn who got to me first, and I'd consider it my contribution toward the survival of my species.

    On the other hand, if I knew my mother was a lazy cow who just couldn't be bothered with the hassle of shopping or if I'd noticed that she drooled and smacked her lips every time she saw a Walking Dead zombie chowing down, then I'd be packing my bags.

      Okay follow-up question: If the situation were reversed, would you feel grosser about eating a family member compared to eating some rando?

    If that happened to me I would probably be paranoid about my mom killing me to eat me later, and also...why would my mom want to devour my corpse in first place?

      Exactly, the dream sequence made this post so much scarier. I’d report her to the authorities (say I was drunk signing the contract) and move to the other side of the country pronto.

      Is it based on a dream you had OP?

    Cannibalism should be legal if the person died of natural causes or consented to it, it’s really no worse than eating any other kind of meat.
