This reminds me of an article I read recently debating the idea of meat made from tissue culture in big vats. Which seems to gross most people (including carnivores) out, despite the fact that it involves basically no animals having to die. The article went on to raise the possibility of it therefore opening up a market for meats that would be ethically not-suitable-for-eating at present, such as panda, and then threw in the idea of human meat somewhat flippantly just as a topic for consideration.
Would I eat tissue-cultured human meat? Probably not, for reasons of eating one's own species being a good way to get interesting diseases. But I'd be kind of curious to find out what it tastes like.
I'm fairly sure I've ingested minute traces of arsenic at one point or another...
