Actually there is no law stating cannibalism is illegal but there is no way to do it legally because you’d either have to murder someone or desecrate a corps witch are both
extremely illegal …

∙ 15y agoThis may vary by your local, state, or Federal Laws.
From a quick search for "cannibal" and "cannibalism" in a dozen or so state law websites, no instance was found. The act of murder, however, is illegal at all levels in the United States of America. You may also run afoul of laws concerning the handling of cadavers, food safety, and other laws in your locale.

∙ 13y agoIn the USA Among the 50 states, only Idaho has specifically made cannibalism illegal except in dire situations of survival..
2005 Idaho Code-18-5003 -CANNIBALISM- Any person who wilfully ingests the flesh or blood of a human being is guilty of cannibalism. It shall be an affirmative defense to a violation of the provisions of this section that the action was taken under extreme life-threatening conditions as the only apparent means of survival..Cannibalism is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not exceeding fourteen (14) years....
Murder is illegal, however. It is possible to perform cannibalism without committing murder
These however may fall under other laws, such as:
- sale of human remains
- mutilating a corpse
- dismembering a corpse
- grave robbing/theft of a corpse
- improper disposal of human remains
Jeffrey Dahmer, the infamous serial killer who performed acts of cannibalism, was officially indicted on 17 murder charges, which were reduced to 15...No indictments for cannibalism were issued because there was/is no law against cannibalism in Federal statute.
