cannibalism

Cannibalism is the consumption of another human’s body matter, whether consensual or not. In the United States, there are no laws that explicitly prohibit cannibalism per se. However, most (if not all) states have enacted laws that make it effectively impossible to legally obtain and consume human body matter.

crime against humanity

Crimes against humanity are specific crimes committed in the context of a large-scale attack targeting civilians, regardless of their nationality. These crimes include the most egregious violations of human dignity, especially those directed towards civilian populations.
