Why is baby eating illegal?

Supposedly the United States is the land of the free, but it doesn't feel all that free.

Why is it illegal to eat human babies? I mean, it's perfectly legal to eat baby chickens. And eggs, for that matter. Why can't we head on over to the local planned parenthood and pick up some abortus for breakfast?

Freedom my derriere...

It's tough question with no real answer. I think thorough discussion is necessary from both sides of the spectrum.
 
Wait, is it illegal to eat babies? I know it is illegal to kill a baby, but if you happen to be walking down the street and you find a dead baby and are feeling a bit peckish...

Is there a specific law on that, and would it be state or federal?

Serious answer: Desecrating a corpse will usually get you into trouble (probably state, not fed).

Not serious answer: You are talking about roadkill!! Who eats roadkill besides rednecks? Sheesh.
 
No one seems to have mentioned the side note. Why can't we buy and eat abortus? I can't think of a specific reason.

Because they have tough meat...and are hard to fit on the barbecue.

There's no good reason. It's all politics. Damn the anti fetus-food lobby.

It's crazy how we can raise and slaughter "livestock" by the billions but it's illegal to eat my aborted baby. Steven Pinker raises a similar theoretical scenario in _The Blank Slate_ but involving a family dog struck by a car. Our aversion, he says, is natural rather than rational.
 
Swift spoiled it for the rest of us by bringing it to the attention of the public.

Also, I think he recommended boiling them.

English cooking.

Grilling them is the only way.
 
As something of a foetus connoisseur, I'll tell you: They taste bad. There simply is no proper way to prepare a baby, aborted or otherwise. Frying leaves them with a terrible salty and bitter taste. Steaming turns the meat into goo. Wrapped in bacon and roasted? That even ruins the bacon! And I didn't think that was possible. And don't even think of doing a baby cold cut. That's just disgusting.
 
Speaking only for myself, I want my baby-back ribs.

Or should I say, I want my baby-back, baby-back, baby-back...

Mmm, cannibalism, highly frowned upon in modern societies.

Comparison - ETA - (changed due to misunderstanding)

Why is it illegal to rape women? I mean, it's perfectly legal to have sex with another adult. Even children in the Catholic church. Why can't we head on over to the local park and rape some random jogger with a nice buttocks? That way we can have ample "abortus for breakfast".


P.S. I'm not actually for allowing rape as a legal activity.

I don't see how your spoof is at all relevant. It's difficult to imagine circumstances where rape can be considered OK. Unless you stole it, it's equally difficult to see how eating already dead babies for breakfast can be considered wrong.


I like how these threads are completely uncensored (as far as I know). I can't say ****, ****, ****, ****, ******* and other cool words, but the JREF apparently has no problem with threads where most of the readership is sophisticated enough to shrug its shoulders at ideas normally confined to the fringes of debate. I mean, I'm cool with eating dead babies and all, but I can imagine some random person Googling for Browne-related skepticism, coming across this forum and then seeing that in spite of acrimonious disputes on an esoteric point in U.S. farm policy, nearly 90% agree prostitution should be legal. Godless weirdos.

Sorry you don't understand, point is more of what 'free' means. He is clearly showing that we are not truly 'free'. And I am merely pointing out that without certain restrictions your safety may be infringed upon. Does that make sense to you, or are you going to reference U.S. farm policy again (a winning argument for sure :rolleyes: ).

Then you're not a very bright thief. Babies are full of crap and heavily protected and loud and annoying and (some say) irresistibly cute. Since there are alternatives, I think it would be wrong. I suppose you could stipulate otherwise, but c'mon, let's not get crazy here.

I did wonder if *maybe* someone could argue that an increase demand for fetus/baby could give people an incentive to steal babies, and then this could become a reason to outlaw the delicacy. But I think that case requires more oversight than anything else; simply certify the dead baby meat.

No, it does not make sense to me. A dead-anything does not have rights. You're comparing a person who is very much alive to something that is dead. Think about who is the victim, or "victim." Dead babies are usually eaten one way or another.
