"How would you feel if someone ate your body?"

Would I be dead? I wouldn't care then, how could I? Go ahead, make more use of the body.

In survival situations I don't see it as that much different than organ donation.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As long as I was already dead when someone decides they want to eat it, I'm fine with that.

Yeah, they'll probably harvest your organs first so that process should kill you before they start eating.

Oh no, not the capitalists!

Dead bodies make for poor meat the longer it rests. Which is why people don't really eat roadkill. Unless they are looking for brain worms like RFK.

I know several people who will take roadkill if they can confirm the freshness by either witnessing the accident or knowing that the kill recently appeared. I myself almost took a deer once. It was a cold night and the deer wasn't on the corner at midnight. But it was there at 6am while still cold outside. If I had the time and space id have likely brought it home to at least assess the meat.
