What if they give consent to be eaten after they have died, that is, not consent to be murdered then eaten.
How do you see that event? And as Greek and Roman pederasty was accepted, then their consent becomes a moot point.

It surely comes down to moral objections, which you know are somewhat fluid in societies. I don't think that 14 is acceptable as an age to get married at, there are countries where 14 year old girls are married off. Consent is more or less a legal construct.

But to reiterate, the incest thing, is a 'yuck' reaction for many reasons. I do get the impression you're playing devil's advocate here.

If there are reasons for the yuck reaction,
then let's hear them. The yuck reaction would then not be where the action is after all.

As for consent about the post-mortal use of a body: well, why not? Actually, I don't think that would matter so much, because - frankly - you're dead and it's a bit late. It's for similar reasons that I don't think you should have to give consent for your organs to be taken for transplantation: you're not using them any more, so it's nothing to do with you.

They've already been aired, I don't need to go back through them.
Isn't a 'yuck' reaction to some things a healthy reaction?

"Healthy" by what standard?
Healthy doesn't mean morally justified.

I know
But I meant 'healthy' as in, if you eat bad meat, you'll get ill. You get a 'yuck' reaction there. If you smell that your milk's off, you don't drink it.

But it wouldn't be *wrong* to do so.
It'd just be daft. f you really wanted to, though... well, why not?

yeah
organ harvesting is how it should be. Opt out by all means, but it should be the norm.
