Yeah it's rahter benign, they both got what they wanted. But it doesn't really gel with the mores.

A similar, but less extreme point could be made about euthanasia and abortion, although the consensuality can be denid there.

I really don't see any problem if someone truely wants to be eaten. as long as others aren't unwittingly involved.

Ethics gets really weird tho

If I remember correctly, they went to the bathroom and put ice on Bernd's weiner to make the area numb, before Armin cut it off. Then they cooked and attempted to eat it over a candle lit dinner. However, the consistency of weiner is apparently so chewy, that it is inedible. Bernd was, if I remember correctly, fading in and out of consciousness during, due to bloodloss and he was in terrible pain too.

I forget if they attempted to cut more pieces off of Bernd while he was still alive or if Bernd agreed to die after that failed dinner. I know they were intimate and that a lot of it was filmed, as well as the murder. Armin cooked and ate him over a period of time, storing his dismembered body in a freezer.

Bernd took part in the cannibilization of himself before his death, which is partially why that whole case was so friggin bizarre because it was all consensual. It just doesn't hold up in court, thankfully.

It's been awhile, so I'm probably misremembering some details, but this is the roundabout way I remember this case. It was massive and everybody talked about it for years.

I also remember some horror director making a movie, recreating the entire crime from beginning to end, which was very controversial. For some reason my mind is pointing at Harmony Korine, but I'm not sure. He's always the first director I think about when it comes to fuck up movie projects, lol.

But yeah. Crazy case.
