    We will read some pieces on different types of cannibalism, including consensual cannibalism. This option asks you to look specifically at Armin Meiwes and Bernd Brandes’ act of consensual cannibalism. <\/span>Is Meiwes and Brandes’ act of consensual cannibalism morally wrong? Why or why not? <\/span><\/strong>This assignment does not ask you to argue whether or not it was morally right (which is going a bit far), just whether or not it was morally wrong. You are not being asked to argue whether or not Meiwes and Brandes’ behavior is repulsive to most; we already know their act is certainly is repulsive to most, and most people would never do it or even want to meet someone who would. This is irrelevant. <\/span>This option asks you only to argue whether or not the act can be labeled as  morally wrong. <\/span><\/strong>Keep in mind that you are also not being asked to argue about cannibalism in general. Rather, you are being asekd about this very specific case between Meiwes and Brande<\/span><\/p>\n
