There's nothing that special about it. It's low mid at best.

>wait what the fuck?
If you take out the concept of Self and Moralism in the regards, it's extraordinarily mundane, and very mid. Like pork flavored turkey bacon. It's something I'd not really do again if given the choice to partake in.

>Explain how you ate Human Flesh.
That's easy, someone simply made the request upon the time of their passing to be consumed. So it was done according to their wishes, we stripped the meat from their bones, and consumed it part of a stew, burned and pulverized the ashes, of which we also consumed in a brew.

It was more so a friendly answering of the request, to honor a friend. Likewise we turned the other parts into various byproducts that were used for various things.

Would you call me a cannibal in that? Someone who would simply honor your wishes? If so, I suppose all undertakers and executors of wills could be framed similarly.

>Would you kill someone for their flesh?
Lol no, killing someone usually means its against their will, and the return on that is infinitely poorer than the continued existence of another person. Keep a man alive to bake you bread and you stay fed for life, kill a man to make a stew and you are fed for a few days.

>But what about Kuru and the taboo?
What taboo? There is no taboo, there is no perversion; it is simply answering a request. If that is taboo, then I suppose I reaching up to grab you something from a high shelf is also taboo and perverse? As per Kuru, that's a valid concern, which is why certain precautions were taken in that. You don't just magically get Kuru from eating Human flesh or nail biters, and self biters would be a massive vector. You eat skin, muscles, and fat; with soft tissues you boil, and use for other non edible products, and you avoid consuming anything that has decomposed beyond a certain point, which with humans is surprisingly fast on how bad you spoil.

Tl;dr. It's nothing special.
