question about cannibalism?
Recently, an "family member" of mine died. The county knows, coroner checked him out, everything was normal, natural causes. His wishes were, very specifically, for us to choose what to do with his body. He has said there are no limits (save for cremation, because in life, he was terrified of fire), so that got me Thinking: is this a situation in which cannibalism is legal? my family member has given us basically free reign, and I'm curious as to whether or not it would be legal to, for lack of a better term, eat him. I promise i'm not hungry for the flesh of others, I just am very curious.
can any lawyers on here help me?

From a strictly legal standpoint, no one (particularly a dead person) can give another person permission to break the law. It's not necessary to get into extenuating circumstances or tiny details, because that legal rock trumps all of it.

I think there are laws about desecration of a body.
