If you eat your own body part, is it still cannibalism?

[her209]

For example, say you were stuck in a remote area with no edible food around. You only choice is to chop off your left arm, cook it, and eat it.

I think it would take me energy to cauderize the wound then you would take in.

If you are chopping off limbs you can pretty much kiss your ass good-bye.

Yeah, pretty much what the above poster said. The benefit you would gain from eating your arm would be outweighed by what actually cutting it off would do.

It seems like it cutting off an arm could take a while.

Another guy removing his own hand.

Of course it would still be cannibalism. I would call it self-cannibalization though.

If you were a giant hotdog, would you eat yourself? I think it's a simple question.

That's because the ass is the meatyist part so naturally you'd go for that first. It's still human meat so naturally it's canabalism.

That's an aside question.

I can't speak to the truthfulness of that account of the story, but it is a true story that a hiker cut off his own arm.

Years of stretching exercises, yoga, and self meditation?

Well fine.

Yes, I think it would be cannibalism. You are a human eating a human.

Yeah, the real story is of Aaron Ralston, who waited almost a week before cutting off his arm. That other guy waited a total of 10 minutes before he started sawing.

umm what made you think of this question, are you planning on eating your arm over a bed of wild rice

Well actually i meant that if you are resorting to cutting off your limbs your pretty much screwed. The negatives outweight the positives.
