But what if the breaking of bones, the mental torture, the abuse was consensual. Then what? You tell me, then what! I will ask you a question: What if cutting the slave's penis and eating it together with Master and then killing the slave and eating him is consensual? And I will give you an answer: quote:
Armin Meiwes (English pronunciation: /ˈɑːmiːn ˈmaɪvəs/ AH-meen-MYE-vəs, with a silent R; born December 1, 1961) is a German man who achieved international notoriety for killing and eating a voluntary victim whom he had found via the Internet. After Meiwes and the victim jointly attempted to eat the victim's severed penis, Meiwes killed his victim and proceeded to eat a large amount of his flesh.[3] Because of his deeds, Meiwes is also known as the Rotenburg Cannibal or Der Metzgermeister (The Master Butcher). Since entering prison, Meiwes has become a vegetarian[4] and has joined a prisoners' group favoring Green Party politics.[5][6] quote:
Meiwes was arrested in December 2002, after a college student in Innsbruck phoned the police after seeing new advertisements for victims and details about the killing on the Internet. Investigators searched his home and found body parts and the videotaped killing. On January 30, 2004, Meiwes was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to eight and a half years in prison. The case attracted considerable media attention and led to a debate over whether Meiwes could be convicted at all, given that Bernd Jürgen Brandes had voluntarily and knowingly participated in the act.[2] Meiwes has admitted what he did, and expressed regret for his actions. He added he wanted to write a book of his life story with the aim of deterring anyone who wants to follow his steps. Websites dedicated to Meiwes have appeared, with people advertising for willing victims. "They should go for treatment, so it doesn't escalate like it did with me", said Meiwes. He believes there are more than 800 cannibals in Germany. OK, nevertheless, I'll try to answer your question: quote:
But what if the breaking of bones, the mental torture, the abuse was consensual. Then what? Even if this was consensual this is not a good thing. We should try to encourage people to leave such relationship. Even if they crave it, they will leave this relationship with permanent physical and mental damage. People who voluntarily consent to such things really need therapy, and we should encourage them to leave such relationships and to seek therapy as soon as possible, before it's too late.
