          In Anomaly I feed them all to my Harbinger Trees for more bioferrite!

          But if I had any cannibals, or my Ideoligion didn’t dislike corpses so much, I would probably do things differently.

    Well, the human can consent, so that would make it perfectly ethical if they do.

          I’m not sure what the green is vs the red. I would assume African cultures don’t support it mostly because it seems unlikely that they developed the same arbitrary (religious) surgery. That would however imply that Europe is a lot more supportive of circumcision than I would have expected. Either way I’m surprised.

            What do you think are the major religions in the continent of Africa? Traditional religions take up less than 10% of religious belief. Yes, less than 10% for all of them combined

      Douglas Adams morally safe meat. Cows breed to be smart enough to agree to be food. To the point they will just pop off and off them selves … But don’t worry it will be in a very humane way… And don’t forget to try my rump it’s very juicy…

    Well in all seriousness, humans can consent and cows can’t (or if they can, they have no unambiguous way to communicate this consent to humans), so human leather is more ethical.

      And when it’s the only way to keep their family from starving, for example, people will consent in droves, securing supply.

      Yeah exactly. People dont realize that leather is a byproduct of the meat industry. Most of the cost is in tanning and preparing it.

      So trust me, there is no shortage of skin to make leather
