In this video:
To begin with, cannibalism is absolutely legal in the United States (with the exception of the state of Idaho), the UK, much of Europe, Japan, etc. However, as Cornell Law School notes, a number of laws are in place across America “that indirectly make it impossible to legally obtain and consume the body matter”. The same can be said for the many other countries in which cannibalism isn’t directly illegal.

You have to wonder... what's happening in Idaho that they're the only place that feels they need a law against cannibalism? More so, why isn't it Florida? It's always Florida.
We gotta thin each other out somehow man, can’t make it illegal.
No one talking bout SWEET HOME ALABAMA
I live in Idaho and youre right. I now HAVE to wonder 😱
Im pretty sure even thought its technically legal here youd still go to prison for it and you absolutely would for the murder

I saw the canabalism hook and thought, "I'll bite".

Appears to be more of a nibble lol.
This video spirals slowly but resolutely into madness. I can't believe Simon actually managed to finish all 13 minutes.
Your url for your sponsor is particularly amusing on this video.
You need to do a video on Donnie Dunagan! He was a Marine Intelligence Officer and Drill Instructor who did 3 tours in Vietnam and also did the voice of baby Bambi in the original Bambi movie. He never told any one though because he was too embarrassed.
“Brain food” hahaha
Forward slash brain food
Really shouldn't eat the brains though, that's a good way to get a prion disease and die horribly lol
My take: Starvation medically leads to an altered state of mind, and so does survival. Ultimately, even if a law existed, ruling would still favor not guilty by temporary insanity.
That's good mate, I'll remember that one.
Possibly, but insanity pleas are incredibly difficult to get. It’s nothing like the law shows where someone gets off on insanity because they were mad or depressed. Typically you have to be in such a mental state that you literally don’t understand that you’re doing something wrong in order to actually get it.
Brad
As someone else pointed out, that's not how insanity pleas work.
anybody high or drunk would be free to commit crimes if insanity was judged that way.
True, insanity pleas are hard to get. However, I think if you went through a very detailed description of what it felt like to have your body begin to digest itself and the madding effect of hunger on your psyche, the uncertainty of rescue and your own survival, and the paranoia as you begin to suspect the other people will turn on you, you could convince a jury of letting you plead insanity. It's a lot different than being drunk.
Well... I bit my tongue... Does that count?
Self cannibalism seems ok
no, it's not ok
i'll notify the authorities
You're constantly swallowing some of your own cells. Autocannibalism happens all the time.
Did you swallow?
How much did you bite, did you bite it off, and did you do it on purpose? ... Not to determine whether it's legal or not, I'm just curious for... Science

Yep. More than one guy answered the ad. The first guide chickened out.

Well we know who the people that backed out are now
Personally if I die first in a survival situation with a loved one, I would want them to eat me to survive. At least I could help them that way.
Sadly in that kind situation the young usually can't survive. Unless you willing to chop part of your body and let them eat it. So you're still alive, just a bit less :/

So if Jimmy suddenly falls off a cliff it's _perfectly legal..._
Desecrating a corpse, interfering with an investigation probably, and
Not allowing the body to be buried are some of the crimes you might catch
That won't be so easy because eating corpses would cause cannibalism borne illness. Whether it be traumatizing and cause mental or immune system illnesses.
@@tiffanywelton5116 the only real issues that arise from eating human meat is when you eat the brain. Our brains contain prions, a bacteria that cannot be cooked out no matter the temperature. it essentially unravels the proteins in your body. Most animals brains contain prions but it only seems to effect when you're eating in the same species family tree. Mad cow disease was from cows being fed other cows brains among their feed
@Kristie C supposedly loosely tastes like pork
@@davidking3922 Even with prions there is cases of ppl growing resistance to prions over generations of ritual cannibaliism, so given enough generation could probably grow completely resistant if not immune to prion dieases causing to do barely any deteration or make it so long a process they'd take an entire life time to die before the prions killed them if they even died from the prion dieases itself. And on that, prions do not naturally occur in our brains. They are a mutation much like cancer that spreads through others of the same species consuming the brain. If prions occured naturally litterally everything with a brain would either be immune to deteriation effects of prion dieases (and by extention to the dieases itself), or we'd all die painful deaths from prion dieases regardless of whether it's a cat, dog, fish, human, or any other animal with a brain. That's why mad cow diease died out. They stopped feeding unaffected cows the brains of infected ones and the infected ones naturally died out and were cremated.
"Today, you found out"
...boy, did I ever
So how about the story behind how they got the cannibalism law on the books in Idaho, eh?
it might be like that bestiality law in Washington that was implemented after a guy died after having sex with a horse, one of those "no it's not technically illegal but only because we shouldn't have to legislate something like that" situations.
tbarry12 I often find myself wondering how those kinds of hyper specific laws and rules came about when I stumble across them and they just seem so... Totally bizarre =/ What happened to provoke this apparently needing legislation?? Hahaha
@@bryntendo anytime I'm interstate driving I'll see signs saying "beware: falling rocks" and I always wonder 'How many cars have been hit by them enough to necessitate a sign?' Hahaha
Ryan Kole Lmao, or warning notes on a hair straightener saying 'do not insert into anus', a toaster saying 'do not operate toaster in bath or shower', or a restaurant with decorative fruit having signs saying 'this fruit is not real, do not eat' hahaha. When I was a kid I drove with my dad over a bridge that had a sign stating the bridge's weight limit... So I asked my dad, how do they know the breaking weight limit? To which he answered 'well, they build the bridge then drive bigger and bigger trucks over it until it breaks, then they weigh the last truck and rebuild the bridge' 😂😂 What a shit stirrer lmao
I read it as Ohio instead of Idaho at first glance, and was like 'is it... Dahmer?' hahaha. That's actually really weird though, since Jeffrey Dahmer was such a high profile case of cannibalism, you'd think there'd be laws on the books there because of him, but nope, just Idaho =/ I don't actually know why Idaho has cannibalism laws but not other states.. What happened? My Google-fu is lacking today apparently, but I still wanna know hahaha

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Donner Party
Or Leningrad.
Sodium FTW what is that?
The donner party was a party of people traveling to what is now Sacramento California unfortunately when they arrived at what is now known as donner summit or something like that it was winter and they’re horses and stuff got stuck in the snow and they were unable to pass they sent our scouts ahead to look for help but they took a long time. They ran out of supplies and had to resort to eating people they did not however kill the people they only ate them after that had died. What remained of the party was eventually saved and settled at sutters fort which you can visit in Sacramento
@@Annelise-Ho Well, there was that ONE guy who I believe DID kill the others. I forgot his name but I was reading about it a while ago.

@@Gabo-wg3dv To be fair, it was botched and probably not good.
I had a friend who was a descendant of _those_ Donners. His forefather and foremother were among the survivors. They started a restaurant in San Francisco, which proved to be very successful.
IKEA: here, have a horse meatball, it’s not made out of horse meat... definitely...
Donners restaurant: here, have a meatball. There’s no human meat in it, sure, that’s what the old cookbook says, but I don’t like that recipe
Did Donner restaurant serve kabbab?
> Makes anything regarding obtaining a corpse and preventing a burial illegal
> Doesn't make cannibalism illegal
Which makes it basically illegal to the point where there's no point bothering with a law against it. It also messes with a lot of traditional or religious funeral practices but profits for the funeral industry are more important than the cultures of grieving families.
I mean. You could argue that I am cannibalizing myself when I lick my blood off a wound....technically. we don't want that kinda lawsuits to start happening right?
Technically you would be cannibalizing yourself if you lost weight at all. Your body is consuming it's fat for sustenance.
There is a term for a person eating or drinking a part of themselves, it's referred to as "autocannibalism". There.... That's a thing you know now.... Lol

When I cover the necessity cannibalism legal cases in my Torts course, I compare the British approach to the American approach. In England, the sailors were found guilty of murder but then the crown pardoned the sailors. In the United States, there are a couple of spelunking cases where victims were murdered to save the remaining people trapped in a cave. In the American cases the defendants were found not guilty by reason of necessity. I believe the British approach is better because it recognizes the sanctity of human life, but then shows mercy through the pardon process.
Well if we are being honest the America justice system is beyond broken and corrupt
Or the British approach is inferior because it wastes time by pardoning people after the fact whereas in the US they cut through the bullshit and get to the point right away. If they were going to be pardoned anyway don't waste people's time and temporarily rob people of their freedom for something that was necessary.
Its pretty hard to get pardoned in america tho so i think our law is better because it covers every case not just high profile ones
oh That’s asinine. You have to draw the line somewhere.
oh humans are way smarter than anything else on this planet and your just being a edge lord lol

I find it very telling that it's always the cabin boy. I'm weirdly way more on board with the guy who ate a willing participant rather than the guy who was held down and had his throat slit. One guy ate his own nephew who was also a cabin boy. Often they are not actually starving but dehydrated like the peeps at Lake City.

Great video as always, Simon. But, I have to echo something a great man once said:
"Why are we still here? Just to suffer?"
I’ll be honest, I never saw cannibalism as taboo as it is made out to be. If I’m dead, then I’m dead. I don’t care what happens to my corpse. Bon appetit!
I don't care what happens to my body either, but anybody who is a cannibal has been given over to a reprobate mind.. It is against nature for a human (created in God's image) to want to eat human flesh unless God has rejected them.

if they're already dead and it's the only way to survive I don't see an issue with it tbh.
I agree, sitting here 10 feet from a well-stocked kitchen. I'm pretty sure, though, it's not a question one can truly answer unless put in the situation of "eat or die". I like to think I could resist and I really think I could and sure as hell hope I never have to face that test.
Until you go mad because of starvation that is.
I’d hope I’d die of from like a rock smashing me before I could eat someone because the will and urge to live at all costs is really high. I think that’d be the only thing to stop us. I just know if I lived after Eating someone I’d forever be fucked up mentally. What’s the point of living if I’d be tortured forever mentally for what I’d done to live
Well, Life sentence in Germany:
After 15 years you are able to get out of Prision.
... With the option of security custody afterwards for the rest of his life.... It's just a definition/ semantics thing in Germany. Yes, life sentence is technically only 15 years, but most inmates who still oppose a real threat to society will never the less be never free again.
A but is a prison year 9 or 12 mts in ireland a prison year is only 9 mts..but if you get a life sentence it is for life even if you get released you are still on licence for the rest of yore life meaning if you fart crucially they can lock ya up no trial needed .........

Rammstein - Mein Teil was inspired by the German cannibal.
I always wondered what the fuck was going on in that video
“… is absolutely legal in the United States with the exception of the state of Idaho as well as the UK, much of Europe, Japan, etc.” It was unclear here that the “as well as the UK…” was carrying on the “absolutely legal” and not the “with the exception of”.
Also of note, Idaho explicitly allows for the affirmative defense that it was necessary as “the only apparent means of survival.” So, for instance, the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 incident would likely have been found not guilty by affirmative defense of survival, even if they had crashed in Idaho.
puellanivis I think they w/d still rather have crashed in South Amer. 😞Have you been to Idaho?

Note: "Life Sentence" in Germany is 20 years, and usually they get out early.
Not quite. It’s true that most people who receive a life sentence in Germany only spend an average of 20 years in jail (first chance of parole is after 15 years), but that’s not the official limit. A life sentence can indeed mean life and currently Germany’s longest-serving prisoner is Hans-Georg Neumann who was sentenced in 1963 for a double murder.
@@drudeinateacup6255 whats the point in getting 3 life sentences then? I know here in australia life sentence is something like 20-25 years, so 4 life sentences is enough to make sure someone never sees the outside again. . .
@@leviroch Interesting, but we don't do that. Here in Germany you can only get one life sentence at a time. If you've committed several serious crimes, though, your chance for parole will be postponed (so you're definitely in prison for more than 15 years) or you're denied parole altogether.
@@drudeinateacup6255 love learning stuff about other countries. . . Always fascinating
Levi Roch not sure about other countries, but here in america getting multiple life sentences is just a way to show how extreme the crime was and ensure a parole board won’t let them out early. here people who get a single life sentence usually serve most of the sentence

Now I am going to have this in my head for the next week.
Stephen King wrote a short story about auto-cannibalism ones, i can't remember the title but it;s a very good one.
Survivor type
When growing up, my mum always told me at the dinner table to try new things.
6:14 He starts talking about the legality of survival situations here
No, we all must suffer together, or you shall be the one sacrificed.
You know the subtitle “feed your brain” is darkly in place here
8:24 out of nowhere a cup with a liquid substance appears on the bottom middle right of the screen! I am scared!
He probably needed to throw back a stiff drink (or a few) just to get through the video. Or maybe he wanted to drink his mind and body into oblivion in hopes that he would forget the stuff he said while recording this (or at the very least make the memories of it as fuzzy and indistinct as possible).
If I was in a survival situation and I had to resort to cannibalism, I would start with the most annoying people than I would move on to the redheads.
Redhead pussy tastes awesome
I would eat the people who can't tell "than" apart from "then" first.
@@xthatghomiex2939
right because you have never made a typographical error in your life. Right? uh oh, you just moved yourself into the annoying category. Guess I need to go buy some bbq sauce.
I would eat a red head.
That said don't eat your placenta. And even more Don't feed it to your baby. It's one thing to do it in a survival situation but just doing it because is a good way of passing communicable disease to your child.
When someone has to tell others not to eat shit that comes out of their own bodies.
Jay Cie Cats & animals eat their placentas. Many postpartum women has an almost uncontrollable urge to eat the placenta. Whatever, don't eat blood.
What a ridiculous comment. How can a child aka a just born baby get a communicable disease from the placenta that has literally been keeping them alive for the past 9 months? If there was a disease they would already have it!
Nathaniel Offer Communicable diseases can be passed from mother to baby. That is the very reason that silver drops are placed into drops of almost all newborn's in Western Civilization. While inside of the amniotic sac the unborn child is not exposed, but after the water bag breaks the child is definitely exposed to sexually transmitted diseases, if present, while passing through the birth canal.
Whether or not the placenta would actually contain communicable disease is debatable. Syphillis does affect many body organs including the brain. Can't remember off hand if babies can be born with syphillis, etc.
Either way, don't eat blood. Alone, that would bar eating a placenta. Newborn babies are geared to drink mammary gland colostrum then later milk from the same source. No babies chewing & swallowing raw or cooked placenta.
As far as moms, I know that some have the strong urge. But I don't see any of them capable of getting up & cooking it either. Blood prohibits the eating of it raw. So yuck, yuck, & double yuck! Not judging the mothers' urges, just grossed out at the idea of anyone acting on it.
@@WatchingMyLifeFlashB dont eat blood?
I used to say there was no way that I'd do that and that I'd rather die first. But twice in my life I've been in situations of extreme hunger, and it is in a whole different category than regular hunger. It's like a primal part of you kicks in and you realize that you will do whatever it takes to eat.
This urge overrides any intellectual or moral objections you might have. It no longer becomes an issue of if you want to do it or not. Kind of like going into labor, your body is going to force you to do it whether your brain is on board or not!
Luckily both times I was able to get food and didn't come close to having to make the horrible decision these other people had. But I did finally get a better understanding of the body's undeniable need to survive by any means necessary.
The shave butter was delicious! I especially liked it on a slice of toast. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious breakfast slather!
That picture of the severed foot with no leg bone coming out is really annoying
6:13 when he actually starts talking about the title
MY Executive Office would include a _Desk made of _*_MAHOGANY_*
*......Mmmmahogany*
*..........Mmmmmmahogany*
This question ghost braid up there with a similar question. In an extreme survival situation where 1 person is badly injured and without the possibility of medical attention and ask the other guy to kill him and later when rescue does come and the surviver tells the story to the police and even when they 100% believe the guy why should he still have to do time even though it was only a mercy killing under extreme circumstances?
I was thinking about this yesterday and this popped up in my feed!
That caveat into razors Was masterful. Hat tip
Can you do a video on naval law? That murder for survival you mentioned got me thinking: “what if that had been on international waters?”, so essentially, is murder legal on the open sea?
generally a ship at sea is required to fly a national flag and while in international waters, the laws of flag nation apply on that ship at sea. could be wrong but i'm pretty sure that's how it works. seeing as you can't really be stateless in this day and age (major goal of the UN), everybody is under some national jurisdiction at any given time and in any place conceivable.
Fun fact, if you commit any crime while in international waters you are technically a pirate.
rsjabba that seems plausible. I suppose it is after all the captain’s right to punish, but he has to abide by some standards. I’ve been on international waters though and there was always a sign warning that there was a strict no drugs policy, which would lead to immediate detention and offenders being handed to the police.
Carpe Noctem in that sense I am quite literally a pirate, because I’ve taken thousands of songs and movies from public servers on board a ship.
International human rights would probably stop murder from being legal... because denying an innocent persons right to live is breaking some sort of human right...
I think. That makes sense. Right?
Meiwes is pronounced "my-vis" just for future reference ;)
Came here to say this 😂
Additional fact, Richard Parker is the name of a cabin boy who was eaten alive in an Edgar Allen Poe story, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, in 1838, 46 years prior to the incident mentioned in this video.

This doesn't prove that The Roast Game is just a conspiracy theory, it only proves that while Cannibalism is technically legal, sometimes there are little laws in the way. It's not a conspiracy theory because there is no proof of any conspiracy. It's a simple fact.
Hypothetically, The mother figure of some families might have done this to prevent further domestic violence during the winter holidays in the past, which would lead to rape (which is worse than murder and could increase further risk of physical and sexual child abuse).
Some people might have buried their children themselves (no coffin). A person or child can be directly interred in the earth, in a shroud, or in a vault without a casket. In all states, it is legal to have your loved one's body at home after they die, and most states don't require you to use a licensed funeral director for final arrangements. It's not impossible, just hard to do.
I don’t know why I thought it would be a good idea to watch this while eating lunch 🤢
Strangely, I'm hungry after watching it.
But then - apparently I laughed at the movie Jaws when I was small.
Hold up so this isn't Vsauce?
It's his British twin brother.
Through much of the episode, he sounds like he’s about to vomit.
These are questions I need answered....for a friend...
This is by far the most information series i have ever seen!!
I have to admit: I had trouble listening to this one.
Donner party I never heard of the ship wreck
How do ppl just find out what a good way is to cook a member 😂😂😂
Curiosity in less developed countries lol. . . Or just cooking animal cock. . . I mean horse dick could probably feed a family of 4 for like a week lol
I'm pretty sure people have always eaten pig, horse, goat genitals etc.
probably not that difficult to imagine what a human dick is supposed to taste like when you've had well-cooked pig-dick.
@Kristie C we call our sheeps balls 'mountain oysters' aswell lol, didnt know we shared that with the US.
Here in australia most food you get in restaurants and food stores are stereotypically 'multicultural yet tame', but if you travel off the main tourist spots you can come across some amazingly odd cuisines. . . Aussie haggis is a thing to behold, slow cooked feral cat pies with local mushrooms, deepfried emu fingers, croc tail stew. . . We are tge only country in the world that eats BOTH animals on our coat of arms lol. Personally i dont eat beef anymore, i only eat kangaroo, lamb and pig for my red meat (it wasnt until i started hunting with mates did i realise that beef is well and trully flavourless compared to just about every other source of red meat)
In the netherlands cannibalism isnt illegal (but rather the things you'd have to do to obtain human meat) so two dudes on tv gave eachother permission to eat part of the other ones thigh, than had a piece surgically removed, cooked it and ate it on their tv show
"Most countries don't have a law against cannibalism".
*Everyone* - Well, yeah. Some things don't need to be said out loud.
3:44 Sorry but I already found out about this in 2012 when it first happened. I also already knew about the Armin Meiwes story. You also got it all wrong, the computer repairman was Armin, not Brandes. The latter was an engineer.
whoa! that's crazy man. try and let them know before they make the video next time!
No mention of the Donner party?
Assuming I didn't just miss it :p
Even though the party was called "Donner Party" none of the Donner family ate human flesh
I never thought I needed to know if I ate someone in order to survive I could go to jail. LoL honestly if I'm in the position of resorting to cannibalism, I think I'd be wishing for prison. LoL at least you don't gotta other people there lololol you know, unless you in to that kinda stuff. LoL I'm not judging you, Do you baby 😂
Of all the parts of the human body that would be disgusting from a moral perspective, he decided to eat slimy, wrinkly throat orbs, a part that would be disgusting without the taboo. What a madman
Smooth transition there Simon. Also, I almost didn’t recognize you without your glasses!
I lost my leg about 10yrs ago. On the way to the surgery to remove it I mention to the Doctor that I wanted my leg back. No problem. No issue. A couple of weeks later it was returned to me
Haha,The hell did you want it for?!
How did the Donner Party not get talked about in this video?
It is one of the most relevant, and most well known, story of cannibalism in the US.
I'm honestly surprised it isn't a part of this story.
It’s more about the legal consequences of canibalism. While the donner party is famous it doesn’t really apply to the subject of the video considering that the area where it happened was pretty much lawless
I think it may be that people might misinterpret the term "party".
The United States are not the center of the universe.
*Ominous music plays* Hey, Vsauce Michael here! Oh...nevermind, wrong person
Lmao the closed captions crack me up "best to have some video footage of kittens playing loaded up on another tab at the same time to cleanse yourself after"
I love the added captions on this video :D
Yeah, imma stick to meat on chips from the kebab shop when im hungus😂
Surprised you didn't cover the consumption of one's booger.
Aaron Seet 😝
That doesn't count as a booger is classified as an hors d'oeuvre.
Ew I felt uncomfortable watching this video😂 it’s truly horrific what the people of the Uruguayan flight had to endure
Grow some balls man. Food is food.
Curtis Lowery just now grew a pair of balls wtf
Thank you Simon. This was very informative and educational. Have you covered the topic of the Donner party?
As a fellow gentleman who is follically challenged. Do you get good results from the shave butter, as far as keeping your scalp conditioned?
I could not finish this video. However your research is very good as always
