Petition Prohibit cannibalism in the UK

Cannibalism has not been specifically prohibited in UK law. We want a statutory offence to be created, prohibiting cannibalism in the UK.

More details

Cannibalism is potentially dangerous and we believe is an unethical act that should be an offence even if the person whose flesh and/or body part and/or organ being eaten has consented. There should be a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison for committing the offence.
