Why is a human eating their own placenta legally NOT cannibalism?
I have an interesting question that's been on my mind. Why is it not considered cannibalism when a human eats their own placenta?
That's an interesting question. Cannibalism is defined as the act of consuming the flesh or organs of another individual of the same species. However, when a human eats their own placenta, they are consuming their own tissue, not that of another individual. Therefore, they are not technically engaging in cannibalism.
