Repeal: “Cannibalism Act”

General Assembly Resolution #691 “Cannibalism Act” (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Noting that the target requires “affirmative and notarized written consent of every person from whom it was produced” when producing “person-sourced meat”;

Noting that it is unclear if, under clause 2(a), for the “notarized written consent” required for consumption of person-sourced meat can be granted by legal parent(s) or legal guardian(s) (hereafter, “parents” for convenience) to eat the organs of their own (legal) children in certain very specific cases, such as (merely as an example) when the children suffer no pain in the process, the parent(s) are in a current or imminent emergency, in the interest of the survival of the parent(s) and without malicious intent;

Noting that the target also permits parents to eat their children for food if those children passed away due to other reasons (under clause 2 as long as no act of bodily harm or homicide is committed), again in “a current or imminent emergency”;

Believing that permitting consent in the case of cannibalism is generally a bad idea in any event due to health and disease related concerns, and the blocker in the target resolution is inappropriate in the interest of protecting the wider communities from the actions of individuals in committing acts of cannibalism;

Hereby repeals “Cannibalism Act”.
