I remember seeing someone get a callout post on Twitter for saying they don't see an ethical problem with cannibalism if it's consensual. That's all they said, and they got dogpiled so hard that they apologized and went to therapy for their "unnatural thoughts", and the callouts continued.
Unless several Twitter users plan to give them unrestricted access to their corpse soon, I don't see why that's callout-worthy.
I don't just not see an ethical problem with it if it's consensual. I'd argue it's the most ethical way to eat meat in that case. We do horrible things to animals without their consent. If someone consents to being eaten, that must be more ethical.
You can argue it's disgusting or something, but if you're arguing with ethics as the basis, consensual cannibalism has to be better than eating other animal meat.
All we need is to engineer animals to consent being eaten.
