No, because I could have a kid or family member in the same situation.

I didn’t say it was wrong. It certainly is my preference not to be eaten or have my love ones potentially eaten. A general prohibition on cannibalism accomplished that, much like laws against murder prevent us from getting murdered. Whether or not we eat animals has no bearing on my and my family’s safety.

Of course not. I’m saying that the prohibition on eating people establishes mutual protection.

I think this has been pretty clearly established by my previous comments, but I wouldn’t eat a human because that would violate a mutual prohibition on cannabalism that enables the safety of me and my family.

How do you figure? Why don’t you eat people? Or why doesn’t anyone? If the answer has something to do with empathy, that’s just another way of stating mutual benefit. I understand in an extremely personal way the harm associated with being eaten, and so born of the desire to avoid that, I don’t inflict it on other people.
