What are your moral intuitions?
Reading a piece on homosexuality in which the author is arguing it falls into the same general category of bestiality and cannibalism. Both of which are violations of what he calls the moral order of the body. I'm curious as to what other people think about the morality of cannibalism. I don't think I've ever felt or thought that cannibalism per se was immoral. I think that killing someone to eat is wrong and maybe even eating human flesh when something else is available is wrong, but if the only source of food available is dead human flesh, I've never been able to get myself to imagine that there's something wrong with eating it. Am I unusual in that respect or is the author of the piece I'm reading projecting something on to humanity as a whole that only a small minority of people think or feel?
Bestiality is another question altogether. But even with that, there seems to be ambiguity. If you're at your cousin's house and his dog starts humping your leg, and instead of kicking the dog off, you allow it to continue its business, have you done something morally wrong?
