Okay, weird title. But this is a question that came up recently, and it is an interesting theological exercise. Is eating human flesh wrong? We are not talking mainly about overt cannibalism, where one commits murder in order to eat human flesh. That is clearly wrong. We are mainly talking about a survival scenario, such as being stranded on a boat or in the mountains, where survivors eat humans who have already died in order to survive. For example, the survivors of the 1972 plane crash in the Andes ate their companions to survive. Is it wrong for a Christian to eat human beings who have already died? Although this question may seem bizarre, it actually helps us think through some deeper biblical realities. Sometimes strange ethical questions force us to ask what we really believe about humanity. Are human beings merely biological organisms? Are our bodies just empty shells…
