That is a hard qusetion to answer. It is both suicide and cannibalism. If you eaty yourself and you didnt mean to kill yourself it would just be cannibalism. But there is one more way that doesnt apply under either of these categories, that's in the sexual way.

How many cannibals are in the world?

Cannibalism also called anthropophagy, is the act or practice of humans eating the flesh of other human beings. the first known account of cannibalism came following an expedition to the West Indies, led by Christopher Columbus. Columbus and his crew supposedly discovered that the Carib West Indies tribe participated in a particularly gruesome practice of ritualistically eating the flesh of other humans. Neanderthals are believed to have practiced cannibalism. Among modern humans it has been practiced by various groups. In the past in Europe, Africa, South America, New Zealand,North America, Australia, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, New Guinea, India, Sumatra, and Fiji, usually in rituals connected to tribal warfare. Fiji was once known as the 'Cannibal Isles'. Evidence of cannibalism has been found in the Chaco Canyon ruins of the Anasazi culture. Historically, charges of cannibalism were used by European nations to help justify their colonization efforts. As a result, many historical allegations of people eating are undoubtedly false. But the fact that such allegations were made is not sufficient grounds to conclude that all reports of cannibalism are untrustworthy. The statistics of cannibalism are to take to a report and document.
