Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

How do you guarantee that? If it's just a matter of asking consent, that's probably illegal. If the person died from other causes (illness, accidents, old age etc.), I'd question whether it's safe (illness) or palatable (old age) to eat that meat.
Not that I want to link to reddit, but there was a thread from a guy who had to have his foot amputated due to injury. He took it home, prepared it and then ate it. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/8p5xlj/hi_all_i_am_a_man_who_ate_a_portion_of_his_own/
I have a hard time believing that the foot was entirely unaffected by the injury ... it's whatever if it's your own limb, but I wouldn't eat someone else's limb that was amputated due to injury.
He did state that the limb was healthy, and he could have kept it, but it wasn't structurally sound enough to take his weight. Hence there wouldn't have been gangrene or anything like that.
Gangrene's kinda nasty, I agree. Come to think of it, it would be like eating severely spoiled meat. There's a reason doctors cut that stuff out of you.
It was an elective amputation because he couldn't walk on it, I didn't see any mention of gangrene or anything else infectious.
It was not a case where it was removed for threatening his life like gangrene would have been.
Just sign up to be a meat donor like you sign up to be an organ donor. if you were healthy enough to have your organs harvested at death, you were healthy enough to eat (probably idk).
Cloned meat would satisfy the requirement
It would probably be enough fitting: If you work in a mortuary, an you have cases of young people that consented to donate their dead body to whatever. I mean they are dead anyway. And they get cremated. So know harm in taking the calf.
Yeah well, I'm only eating people that died by suicide, then.
