Please answer seriously ^^

I was having a discussion with my drama teacher (long story) and she asked this because of my well-known knack for answering (and asking) random questions. Anyway: If you eat a placenta (after it is surgically removed), does it still countas cannibalism? Answer seriously, and think about it before answering.:confused:

[The Resurrected One]

I would say yes, because it is still part of a human, isn't it?

[Hyper]

Eating any part of a human body is cannibalism

[Octo22]

That comes down to definition of abortion.

In my beliefs once it is out of the vagina, it's a person, so yes :P

But eating it inside is fine.

[MoveAlong]

In my beliefs once it is out of the vagina, it's a person, so yes :P

How can a placenta be a person?
Yes I think it would be cannabalism; I agree with Hyper

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

Its cannibalism:D I would know...:P

[Glasgow]

Well nobody is going to eat placenta unless they are testing some new method of cell manipulation. Id say it isn't cannibalism, its just gross

[RaisingSand]

Its cannibalism:D I would know...:P

Okay seriously, your obsession with Hannibal Lector is going a bit far ... it's really creepy.

[dushanbe4]

I mean, once the baby is born, the placenta is nothing but a benign tumor, so it comes down to that.

[RaisingSand]

The definition of cannibalism is consuming anything that was/is human flesh or part of a human, so yes, I would consider eating the placenta to be cannibalism, though I fail to understand as to why anyone would want to eat it. >.<

[Attax]

I would say yes, because it is still part of a human, isn't it?



i agree cause isnt that what cannibalism is

[TakenAway--x]

Eating any part of a human body is cannibalism

That basically said it all.

[Camazotz]

It all comes down to terminology and definition. I guess since it was part of the human, it is cannibalsim.

[dem.re.cmd.exe]

Well, you shsow me someone eating a plecenta and I'll give you my honests opinion. Although my opinion doesn't matter here. lol

[western ninja]
