say a guy#1 puts an ad in the paper for a house for sale. guy#2 goes to look at the house. guy#2 suddenly dies of a heart attack. guy#1 claims that guy#2's heirs should get the house and he should get guy#2's money in the bank for the value of the house. But there was no contract. just going to the place doesn't mean guy#2 was agreeing to anything. Therefore there was no sale on the house and the other case was murder. If there were a written contract between the eater and the eatee, then I'd say it was legal. But I still stand by my statement that any cannabals should be swiftly shot in the head.
