I'm not exactly against it, because I can't think of anything wrong with it logically, however, instinctively, urgh... It can be justified when no other food's can be found, like in the case of the kids who got stuck in the mountains, but otherwise it's simply unneccesary.
Well, I think this is one of the things which a civilized society finds repulsive and hence it is not only banned, but made a crime. You know, those of us who are under the misapprehension that we don't ban anything just because society finds it disgusting should realize that this simply isn't true. We outlaw necrophilia for the same reason. Anyone who denies this is just not facing up to reality. Say, is eating dog meat illegal in the USA, do you know? I suspect it is and the reason for that is the majority in our society finds it repugnant.
