In the ancient times of Christopher Columbus' journeys, people
believed that there was a timeless remedy for all the diseases of their world.
For this purpose, a brown substance known as "Mumia" was used, which
(under its graceful name) hid powdered human tissue. This type of medical
practice wasn’t the only one known to mankind, as many cultures used human body
parts to heal their relatives, gather strength and power or simply to survive.
This shouldn’t be at all shocking, as there are various stories about acts of
cannibalism througahout the world. As the example we can present the belief of
New Zealanders according to which warriors ate the flesh of the defeated in
order to absorb their strength and fortitude. Regardless of whatever the
cannibals have believed, and what their motives were, this “culture” remains to
this day mysterious, and to some of us, unbelievable.

3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
Comments
Yes, I was aware of the facts mentioned in the material, but still, it was nice to refresh the knowledge about it.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
If i did not have other choice I would do that. It would be the most disguisting thing I can imagine, but the will to stay alive would do the job here.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
It is the society, collective that makes things acceptable or not. It is not acceptable for me at all but one person has actually not much to say here and I am not in the position to say if anything should be "socially acceptable" as a unit, unless I am a dictator. It also depends on what society it is. Most of the societies I know would never accept that but there are still some that could. Nevertheless it is incredibly hard to make something like that acceptable in case of society. It is, however, equally easy to make it legal in terms of law.
I was sure that the only reason people ate each other in the past was because of hunger. I didn't know that so many parts of the human body were used as medicine.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
I firmly believe that there would be other medicines, such as herbs. On the other hand, if I had to choose between living and eating something so disgusting... I would prefer not to know what the medicine would be made of.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
It depends on the type of society. Perhaps there are undiscovered tribes among which eating people is a part of the culture. It would be unacceptable in my society.
2. I think that if this powder really worked, and if I had no other way to survive, I would definitely try it. Who knows, maybe it tastes like hummus: D
3. I think that someone should visit a specialist. People cannot eat each other. This is how we differ from animals. Under no circumstances should such a deed / phenomenon be accepted by the public. This is against any moral and religious rules.
1. I’ve heard of cannibalism but didn’t know the facts about it. I knew that cannibals believed that by eating defeated tribes they would gain their power but I didn’t hear about the magic “Mummy” powder. I didn't realize that it was used in medicine.
2. Human life is the most important thing, so if I had a choice to save someone, I would try it.
3. In my society this wouldn't be accepted. I hope that this will never happen, but life can force us to various unusual behaviors.
2. For medical purpose, if someone agreed to use his body after death, I think it would be at most very uncomfortable, but acceptable if it really would help in such situation.
3. I don’t think so. It is barbaric and totally unnecessary. Normal people should never do such things. Moreover, if it became popular, you’d never know if someone has actually agreed to be eaten, or someone is just lying to make profit on desecrating someone else’s corpse.
2. If I lived in the 15th century, I could try "mummy powder". Even if it was medically confirmed, I would try mummia powder. Everyone wants to live as long as possible, right?
3. My previous answers should be treated with a blink of the eye. But seriously speaking - this should not be acceptable. It is known that human is an animal, but can anyone find an example from nature when the same specie(genre/class) of animal eats themselves?
I have heard some facts about cannibalism before for example, about the origin of the word. But the first time I heard facts about mummies and the use of human organs for medical purposes.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
I would agree just when it will be the only way to stay alive. I am sure that in such a situation, many people would agree to this.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
I agree with others that it depends on society. In modern society, when every human life is important, it is unlikely that this would be acceptable. But as shown in the video, in the past there would be groups of people who would willingly agree with this.
1. Yes i have heard about cannibalism, but never heard of traditions mentioned in this TED video such as eating the body of a person that was killed or using human organs for medical purposes. That scared me and I'm happy to live these days.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
I think if I lived in those days and had incurable disease, I would try everything possible to recover including mumia powder, especially it was commonplace in society.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
I don't think that eating someone should be socially acceptable even if he let us to do it,
it breaks human morality and you never know if that person is mentally healthy.
I think that if such a law were introduced, people would stop being human.
2. Of course I would eat it. If there is something that could cure a disease, why should it be wrong? I have one comparison to this: if you need one of your organs in your body to be replaced, you take it from a person who can give it (for example one kidney) or people who died, but their organs could be used by somebody (for example young people who died from some conditions, having fully functional organs before their death). We usually don't find it wrong, do we?
3. Yes, I don't care who is doing what if both people agree on that. There is an interesting story about it, by the way. You can see this Urbex of a house, where a cannibal ate another person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxHLAXuUw1Y
2. Of course I would. Well, I would rather not know what is it made of, but the idea of dying when actually having a chance to survive is much more terryfing than consuming a little of dead body.
3. Definitely not today in this society. But to me, if someone wants to get killed and eaten then please, go ahead, but it still should be considered a mental distress.
Yes, I have heared about them before. It is a very controversial topic for me and I can still imaging very powerfull people like 0.0001% of rich people who have habbits of tasting and eating human meat.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
Yes I would. If I am sure about something that doesn't kill me or hurt me I try it. It's like trying new foods and exploring the world.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
Yes. It's like your final death wish, I wouldn't mind if someone would like to be eaten after death. Well while being alive is something different but If he wants it... ;)
2. If I was sure of it I would, it’s not a problem for me.
3. That’s the tricky question. It think it’s all about some kind of human boundries and cultural history. It can be to compared to eating pets, in Europe it is hard to think of that but in some Asians countries is a daily basis to a dog. Same thing can be with eating humans.
I think sometimes when we get desperate and when it seems there is no other possible way to fight the disease we resort to alternative medicine, (of course if I can call it that way :).Personally, I do not want to say that I would never ever try “Mumia” powder, because i don`t know which circumstances would foce me to do that, currently it seems disgusting for me as I live in the 21st centuary, when almost every disease can be treated with some exceptions of course, where there is developed medical assistance etc.
"If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?"- Could you be more precise? Eaten fully or just some parts? Joke:)
I mean it will be socially acceptable if majority of us will find it acceptable. I totally disagree that these anti-human methods should be applicable in nowadays society.
Scientists work hard to create a cure which can treat us from the variety of illnesses, let`s take these "traditions" as something we passed and never get back to.
No, I haven't. The video was interesting and disturbing and the same time. I always thought that the term "cannibalism" is much older and wasn't invented while colonialism was taking place, but then I didn't think much about that topic. The ancinet chinese tradition was very admirable, but sadly I doubt that it helped the parents.
2.
If it was in fact a proven cure, then sure, otherwise not really.
3.
Why would someone agree to such things? Humans have an innate need for living, so that would be some kind of mental disorder. Also I don't think eating any meat should be socially acceptable.
I have heard many story and myths about cannibalism but some traditions like request to be eaten after death or children offering their flesh to their parent this is new to me
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
Depending on the disease and if the Mumia powder is truly an effective cure, why not!
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
I don't see the benefit to be eaten or to eat a human and i think it should be illegal.
I wouldn't try it because I know it's magic and magic doesn't work. "mummy powder" was a drug used "for everything", it was popular from the 12th to 17th century. - At first mummies were imported from Egypt, then it was probably made from animals.
I think they should be given psychiatric treatment.
1. I haven't really heard much about the cannibalism prior to seeing this video. This subject is not really popular in our culture, apart from the few stories like "Silence of the lambs", and I was never really interested in it.
2. If it was scientifically proven that it would actually help with curing dangerous disease, I think I would maybe consider it. But as it is of right now, I would never even think about it.
3. I believe not. It's against human nature and morality to consume flesh of fellow humans, and society should not tolerate such behaviour.
Cannibalism has been known around the world for thousands of years. He was often blamed, often there was no other way. The people fleeing from labor camps in Siberia (USSR area) took their friend with them "for a sandwich", where after a few days of wandering, as in the above mentioned. he was being cut into pieces of meat. Sounds drastic but true.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
Probably so. People will do everything to live.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
This behavior will never be socially acceptable. At least right now. People treated it differently during World War II - it guaranteed them survival!
I have watched some documentaries about cannibals to satisfy my curiosity few years earlier, but the information in this video is new to me, I never know that people stole mummy and grind it into powder to sell as medicine.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
People suffering incurable diseases try many different things just to find any hope, so I guess perhaps I would. Although I highly doubt that such a thing would cure any disease - unless scientifically proven. Also historical facts prove that any benefits of mummy powder were fake.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
There were such cases in the world, for example in Germany. Although it happens, I think is morally awful, actually simply a murder. If a person agrees to be eaten then they might have mental problems which should be cured, not taken advantage of by a murderer.
From time to time i watch some videos on TED but i didnt see this one. TED movies are awesome because it broadening horizons. In my opinion this topic which you presented its so interesting.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
Probably i would try it if it was the one possible way to survive. In some situations our instincts are activating just to survive but i believe there would be other things to do instead of this.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
In my opinion this is impossible to be accepted from all community but on the other hand i think its your choice and you should do whatever you want. If you want be eaten you will do it anyway and no one will stop you.
1. Have you ever heard about the history of cannibalism and “traditions” mentioned in this TED?
No, never, but this quite intresting. I believe when I find some time I should dig more about that topic.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
Not sure, it is quite tough question. Right know I would say no, I would try to find something different, but when such situation accure I may not have second thoughts as survival instinct may kick in.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
Another rather tough question. In my opinion as libertarian of some sort such person should be permitted to do with their body what they want even after their demise. However no one should be force to eat that body, only volounteers should participate in such event.
I know that in many places in the world it is widely practiced. For many different reasons.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
Rule of the thumb is that fellowship in species is often divided by intelligence. The one that feasts on other is usually superior in the IQ. This is often the main reason the latter was able to catch the prey in the first place. There could be inhabitants of some isolated islands, that technically qualify as homo sapiens, but in reality, they present a sizable gap in the intelligence development, and thus, could suffice as a source of food.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
I am no person to ask about morals. Human psychology is too difficult for me.
2. Well, if this would be scientifically confirmed, then I think I would. Creating demand on it would be a bad thing, but if the powder comes from mummified remains of a person died of natural causes many years ago I think I would try it.
3. It is hard to say. First of all, now, it wouldn't be acceptable, as the society is already well taught not to eat human flesh, the video explained why and how it happened. However, if one would like to donate his or her body to the poor and hungry, this could actually save lives. The meat would have to be well examined obviously, however, from this perspective I would say it should be accepted. On the other hand, there is no certainty that some rich bastards wouldn't start to host "human flavoured parties" to impress the guest, paying the people, while still alive, to eat them later. This gruesome scenario could potentially lead to murders to fulfill the demand and the story about Mumia powder could have repeated. So, after this long debate in my head, I would say that we shouldn't risk it and society shouldn't accept it. However, I would donate my body for the cat or dog food if it would be possible, but that's another topic ;)
2. You would never convince me that degenerate matter broke down to basic proteins will cure me. Although if I would live in some parallel universe where eating "Mumia" is a proven cure to my cancer - i would. Just a question to the author, how much time did you spend on this stupid questions :)? I am obliged to write something and in the meantime you ask questions that just cannot be subjects to discussion.
3. I mean if someone want's to eat a mammal who lives on average 79 years and eats all kinds of unhealthy, unnatural and harmful stuff, then be my guest. But do not complain that you got sick later on.
2. If i had no other choice, and i was certain that it would cure me, i would probably try it.
3. I don't really know, it's a really hard topic, but if I had to choose between it being acceptable or not, I would say it shouldn't be. My only argument against eating other people is that it just feels wrong.
2. I'm not sure, it seems to me too surreal to answer this clearly.
3. No I don't think it should be acceptable. This phenomenon sounds pathological and pathologies should be treated.
2. If it would, then why not? :) For me there are no limitations in curing my own body (of course if I'm not hurting other people).
3. In present times? No. Now as we now how it works and that this is causing deadly disease, it should not be socially acceptable. It even should be forbidden!
2 / I don’t know, maybe ... I didn’t think about it.
3 / At the moment, this is not a popular topic, and there is no problem. But I think this is the choice of the person himself.
2. Of course, I would. I would even try it out if there was 1% chance for the healing to appear. If you are desperate enough you can eat or do much worse things.
3. Since I am liberal we shouldn’t forbid people to do with their life as they please, but first it is our obligation as the democratic nation to be sure that the person that is going to do such thing is mentally healthy and not depressed. Personally, I find it disgusting, but my opinion shouldn’t matter.
Yes, I have but it’s always good to refresh your memory.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
I am a vegetarian but if I had no other choice I guess I would have to force myself to survive.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
I guess that it would not be acceptable, especially that more and more people switch to vegetarian diet. But on the other hand there are already so many strange things acceptable that I would not be surprised if it actually was acceptable in some societies.
2. I don't like such questions originated from Kant’s philosophy - 'what if ..'. It's hard to know until I would be in a need to face such a decision. But .. you pushed me to think about this horrible, inhuman act and my answer is .. yes - I will do that if there is no other way to stay alive.
3. Yes if those who want to eat him/her, agree. Otherwise, why people don’t argue with burning people's bodies after death?
Yes, I have heard about it. I think i have already watched this YT video before, but it is good to watch such an interesting things again.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
It is very funny question, I don’t know what I would do. Probably I would do anything to survive exactly following our natural instincts. To sum up it is a chance that I would try it.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
No, this is just inhuman and we should not allow to do this despite somebody’s agreement.
1. Have you ever heard about the history of cannibalism and “traditions” mentioned in this TED?
No, it's been all new to me.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
Depends what you understand by "If I knew"? I tend to trust in science and I rarely "believe". If it indeed would cure 'incurable' disease of course I would do it :)
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
With current approach to human corpses it's a huge waste that we just burry them. There are projects where we could use them as a soil for plants or in any other productive manner. If eating dead body would feed someone hungry then why not? We shouldn't care that much.
2. I don't really know. I would say, no I wouldn't but there is always a slight chance.
3. No it shouldn't be socially acceptable, but it depends on the situation. As mentioned in the video, some cases (like starvation) changes all perspective.
I think if I was on the edge of my life or suffering badly, I would try any way I could.
I don't think we should accept that someone agrees to be eaten. I think this's a mental disorder that needs to be treated, not accepted.
2.Interesting question :). It all depends on the situation in which I would find myself. In a critical situation I would certainly try the "Mummy" powder
3.But weird question :). I don't know, it's hard to answer.
2. It's hard to say. It all depends on the situation in which I would find myself. If I didn't have to kill to get this medicine and just had it ready and knew what it was made of, only if I was in a situation saving my life I would dare to use it. I think most people would do that. Life is of the highest value and we are devoting a lot to it.
3. I don't think there is a need to accept cannibalism on a daily basis. Life-saving situations are very different from eating human flesh in a normal life.
I haven't heard about most of the habits and origins mentioned in this TED video. But I know about cases of cannibalism when it was essential to survive.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
No, I wouldn't because I know it can cause other diseases.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
In my opinion it should, but people usually can't cope with a thought someone could eat them also. Cannibalism was considered too long as immoral behaviour to change it.
2. If there is no other way to survive I think i could do it.
3. In my opinion anyone can do what they want. In this case It is rather badly way of handling this tip. But it is extremely unusual case that I don't even know it's good or bad.
This is the first time that I have heard about cannibalism's history. This is also the first time I heard anyone say more than just "it's about eating people".
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
Well if there were no other way or the other way meant doing something much, much worse, then absolutely I would try "Mumia" powder. I would still consider it wrong but not wrong enough to let myself suffer or die.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
No. I don't think that eating people in any form should be allowed. There are some things which should be avoided at any cost. If there was a law which approved cannibalism if both sides agreed, then there would be much more people "forcing" others to let them. The second thing is that you have to be killed first to be eaten.
I had heard before about some ancient cultures that did that. I think National Geographic may have some articles about that.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
The question seems to me as very hypotetical. It is hard for me to answer to, I'd rather not.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
No, it shouldn't. I am happy with western Christian culture that respects human body also after death.
I have heard some rummors but i have never been into history of cannibalism so i didnt know about it. Interesting thing is how the word cannibal came from.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
It's hard question to ask. We do not do that because we know there is no chance it can work as a cure but if it would cure people probably it would be at some point acceptable by the society and wouldnt be such a big thing. So answering the question. In the world where it cures i probably would use it.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
It's again hard to answer this question. In world we live in it wouldnt be possible in my opinion. The changes in law would require a few generetions to pass to accept that. Other thing is morality and religions. Probably we as a society wouldnt accept it for a long time.
For the first time I hear the history of the term "cannibalism" from this video. I mean the part of the video that talked about how Columbus sailed to Guadeloupe. The fact of the appearance of such a word is new to me. But of course, the history of cannibalism is very deep and distant from today. Surely this really happened in harsh conditions even when the ancestors of people did not know how to talk. Therefore, this is not a new phenomenon, but its history is rooted in the distant antiquity.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
It is very difficult to talk about it. If most healthy people now answer "no," I would not drink this powder, this does not mean that it is true. Because when this happens, and people become ill with incurable diseases and when you really really want to live, people think completely differently. Who knows. Therefore, we will be guided by scientific data and we know that there is no such medicine for today. So we can be calm.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
I think that if someone agreed to be eaten, this is not a very good phenomenon. Most likely, not everything is in order with the mental state of such a person. Therefore, this should not be acceptable in society. Society should understand that solving problems through human sacrifice is not the best way out of the situation.
1. Have you ever heard about the history of cannibalism and “traditions” mentioned in this TED?
Yes, but it was very good to hear about it again and refresh memory. I would recommend to everyone to watch it during free time staying at home nowadays.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
I am not even able to imagine that act now, but yes, probably I would try it while want to survive.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
Yes, because everyone can decide about her/his live and there is no reason why someone could forbid it.
2. Of course. Between death and something disgusting, who would choose first? Especially, if you don't need to kill someone because they are already dead or something else.
3. Nothing should or shouldn't be acceptable at all. Something acceptable or not due to conditions which include a lot of factors inside and outside the society. The main point here is being able to ask questions to "traditions" and think either they are still good for humanity (or its part) or not.
No I did not hear these traditions. But I knew some other of them.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
Well, I think that in some extreme situation in order to survive, and I would be 100% sure that this Mumia powder would cure me, then I would probably go for it.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
I mean, the topic is so extreme to these days that I sould not even state my opinion. But if I must, I would say that it should be forbidden. Thats disgusting. And socially it would not be acceptable nowadays for sure.
I heard about some of them like eating dead family members instead of funeral but in a little different way they were eating ashes so part of their soul could live in their descendants and another about eating defeated warriors so they could take over some of their strength. I didn’t hear about eating mummies or parts of your children to improve health this is a little nasty but we all want to be healthy so we eat what we can to become one.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mummia” powder?
If that would be a sure way it would cure me and help me survive some incurable disease then of course I would, but if this is some kind of home remedy, another miracle drug and could work just like placebo then no.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
No, I don’t think that should it be socially acceptable If someone agreed to be eaten or want to eat someone, he should be sent to a specialist psychologist for medical test
2. It is quite hard to tell because it is hard to picture yourself in situation in which you had to try it survive. I imagine that if I had some serious condition and was one hundred percent sure it would cure me, I would try it.
3. It is hard to tell society to accept something. I think human organism have couple of lets call it 'restrictions' that limits it. For example even tough someone wants to commit a suicide and is sure about this, his organism tries to defend by sending some signals. I think it works the same for eating someone - even if you want to accept this fact it is just not natural for people to eat other people or accept it.
This story is strange, I didn't expect it to look like this. I thought of cannibalism a little differently, but you learn all your life :)
I was sure that cannibalism is eating other people, and here it turns out that this practice has even tradition and certain rules. I would have to wonder if the "Mumia" powder works as it was presented; I think I prefer not to try. Cannibalism is not socially accepted in most of the world in my opinion, but in places where it is accepted people can definitely influence whether someone eats them or not.
Anyway it was weird topic.
No, I haven't heard about the history of cannibalism and "traditions", which were mentioned in this TED. It was interesting and I learned something new, thank you for sharing.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
No, definitely no. I cannot imagine it and I think it is not ok to try "Mumia" powder. I would try it in many cases no matter what will happen. I think it is too strange/odd.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
I think it shouldn't be socially acceptable. It is a very weird topic, but I think if someone wants to be eaten, then this person has a big psychological problem and need to be cured and monitored by a special government organisation.
No, I have never heard about cannibalism history and its traditions, as I don't like to read and discuss such topics.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
I can't tell you honestly. Maybe I would try, as wish to survive is our main instinct. From this point of view, most of us would try.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
We created the norms of morality and we can change them. Even now many people refuse to donate their organs after death, however they don't need them anymore. So it would be acceptable in many many years, if would be at all.
I heard some of the history of cannibalism, but a lot was new to me. In particular, I heard about cannibalism in the southern islands, which was practiced until the 20th century.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
No, I would not dare. I am a bit religious person and such experiments are not for me.
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
Definitely not, I heard a story about how a man agreed to be eaten voluntarily. This is unacceptable to society.
2. Hypothetically speaking, yes I would try it. I would never reject a possibility to extend my life. It will not happen though as this whole "Mumia" powder is just a myth.
3. Of course not, cannibalism is truly a disgusting act and it should be banned forever.
Honestly, i've never heard but it was pretty interesting expierence to see this material.
2. If you knew, it would cure you and help you survive some incurable disease, would you try “Mumia” powder?
Probably If it would be take or leave it offer to my health or life I would take it. It's so natural to surivive for human even if in other circumstances i wouldn't even think about it
3. If someone agreed to be eaten, should it be socially acceptable?
Definittly not.. It's unethicall in every possible manner.
2.If in any way it could cure me of a disease that is incurable, I would try. There are no impossible things, and I think it's worth the risk in such cases.
