    I think you can be stuffed.

    Not sure about cannibalism, but for what it's worth, there is nothing in the Constitution saying that people have no right to cannibalism. :P

    If you really want to be eaten, just have your body thrown in the ocean..

    Also, who would be willing to eat you?

    I'd like to be stuffed and painted off-white so people think I'm a marble statue.

    It would be pretty tricky to challenge laws against cannibalism though.

    I guess you could try to get people who plan to eat you after you die arrested on conspiracy to commit cannibalism or something.  Because it's not quite cannibalism until they actually eat you, so you'd either have to eat someone else or have to find another way to get them arrested so that you could challenge it in court.

    I want to be encased in the wall of a house so that I can haunt the family that lives there.

    I se eno problem with cannibalism so long ais it is a voluntary agreement on both ends.

    Carbonite for me. 

    Also, why would you want to be eaten in the first place. 
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    I was waiting for someone to mention that.

    I think there was indeed some high-profile court case involving someone slaughtering and eating a willing person.

    The slaughterer was charged with murder.  I don't remember the outcome; I just remember coming across it somewhere on the internet.
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    It was a completely voluntary mutual exchange so I see no problem with it.
  • GLORIOUSLeaderGLORIOUSLeader

    Well, if there was no proof the slaughteree was willing, I could see why it would be a problem.

    My advice? Move to a country that endorses cannibalism.

    Personally, I really don't care what they do with my body if I'm completely dead. I don't plan on using it after I die.

    I wonder if it's legal to be buried with no coffin and no preservatives in a shallow grave. Then animals could dig it up and eat it.  That's actually kind of strangely appealing from a dust - to - dust perspective, but it probably isn't healthy for the human community.

    Maybe you'll live long enough that the laws or your mind might change.

    ...come to think of it...

    ...does the Russian Reversal mean that...

    In Soviet Russia, YOU eat cannibals!

    ...and then...

    No, you are the cannibal.

    I want to be preserved, dressed in in some awesome clothes with a forlorn look on my face and be used as a piece of art when I die.

    I want my body to be dipped in liquid nitrogen, stuck into a gigantic pencil sharpener, then dropped from a helicopter onto a farm for use as a fertilizer spike.

    Any objections?

    You know there are cooler ways to do with your body when you're dead, like converting it to diamonds or bullets.

    You can have your ashes made into a painting or fireworks.

    Eh, if you die of old age then the body would be too stringy, and if you die of disease/poison then there are health concerns. A gruesome accident may render you inedible

    So unless you are planning on being murdered...

    Now I'm curious as to what my girlfriend would taste like jerkied...

    By the way, I'm willing to bet most people in first world nations would taste fairly nasty due to lack of healthy diets. Diet CAN influence flavour, after all
