that story makes me want to throw up.

A psychologist said Meiwes, who had admitted he still had fantasies about devouring the flesh of attractive young people, could reoffend.

Meiwes's lawyer admitted his client had a fetish for human flesh, but claimed he was no danger to society.

umm...

I remember the documentary Channel 4 did on this, that programme seriously freaked me out.

Wasn't it a messageboard specifically dedicated to cannibalism that he got in contact with his voluntary victim?

Must suck to be a newbie on that forum 'hey guys fresh meat'

Then you have all those suicide forums

As they say you can find anything on the net if you go looking for it.

I believe the phenomenon is called "consensual homicide." There was another case in 1996 involving an American, Sharon Lopatka, who used the internet to seek out someone who would torture then kill her over several days. The man who eventually did it was found guilty of "voluntary manslaughter."

The fringes of human behavior are quite strange.

There are so many disturbing issues surrounding this case, I'm not even sure where to start, but the one quote from this guy that struck me as the most absurd was his comment that 'I didn't want to kill [the victim]', I just wanted to eat him'.

Fascinating in the most absolute macabre way. :shudder:

It's consensual, I don't see it as any more wrong than a duel to the death. If somebody wants to die that should be their right.

Based on some of the principles used to decide other issues on this board, it could be argued that as purely consensual behavior there should be no punishment for Armin Meiwes.
