Halftime feedback on cannibalism

The articles from Theodore Dalrymple, "The Case for Cannibalism" and BBC "German Cannibal Tells of Fantasy". We all read about Armin Meiwes' who placed an advertisement on the internet for a young man to be eaten alive. That young man name was Bernd-Jurgen Brande who answer the advertisement in March of 2001. The only reason that Meiwes got caught he place another advertisement and the police were alerted

Now here are some responses to some of the questions posted by the pregamers.




  • In the case where cannibalism is used as a ritual, such as sacrificing and eating their opponenet as revenge....then, does that make the act of eating another's flesh okay.

Our answer to that is in our society it is not correct or legal. In other society we have to realize that some tribes do not know anything but cannibalism. It is a way of living and survival, they are fulfilling religious rites. Tribal practices that predate the society that we live in and they find it a normal thing to do.



  • Should an individual's rights (freedom) be restricted if he/she is "emotionally ill?"

Yes the individual's rights should be restricted look at Bernd-Jurgen Brande who agree to be eaten alive. He most had been "emotionally ill" to agree to be eaten alive.



Locke Questions



  • Is there such thing as total freedom?
No there is no total freedom in our society or other societies. If we had total freedom it would be the beginning of the end in an anarchistic fashion. We have rules for the sole purpose to protect our rights and allow us to live as "free" as we can amongst one another with all of our differences.



  • Can one be completely free?
    No one is completely free we all follows rules and laws from our society.
