Sick question on cannibalism?!

Question: Sick question on cannibalism?

If I were to have a chunk of flesh cut off of me, cooked and served to me.. would it still be cannibalism? I'm eating myself, nobody died in the process and I'll be the one in the pain!

Not that I will do it(god no), I'm just curious.

Answers:

An interesting example of autotrophy. Autocannibalism. Yes, it's still a form of cannibalism, and it still wouldn't be good for you. Consuming your own flesh wouldn't compensate for the loss of said flesh.

All too much experience I fear.

You are right it is not cannibalism but self cannibalism:

Then it would be self-cannibalism. It's still cannibalism.

Self-cannibalism is the practice of eating oneself, also called autocannibalism, or autosarcophagy.
