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

[mobobuff]

I guess I'd have to say yes. You're eating meat from your own species, even though it is your own meat.

I was going to mention that story too.


I chew on my own fingernails... does that make me a cannibal?

In that case, everybody's a cannibal. Everybody eats their own skin anyway.

Dead skin cells isn't meat.

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.

is it that late or is this one of the most unappetizing hannibal-ish posts ever served up here?

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

Hotdogs are delicious!

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

Not just that, but it would take more energy to digest the body part rather than just let your body break down it's own fats/proteins for energy.

I can lick the end, does that count?

I can also lick my elbow. I was once on Australian radio in the middle of the night because of it (I live in the UK).

Definitely one of my favorite short stories by SK. :thumbsup:

Eating your own body part would fall under the "self-cannibalization" category.

dont eat your brain or other CNS parts, you will get mad human disease just like cows get mad cow disease when they eat other cows brains

then again, i dont think you would survive for very long if you were eating your own brain anyways

I think it's called masturbalism when you whip up your own protein snacks, isn't it?
Might hold you over. I can't imagine an arm being very nutritious, although it may help get the taste out of your mouth.
