I forgot about this old thread, but was just browsing back and on a completely different note to correct some of the faulty logic of some of the atheists here.. It is Kuru and not Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease that is caused by cannibalism.. actually none of us are immune from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease which is a variant of quite a few diseases of the central nervous system caused by prions for reasons mentioned earlier, but it was mostly encountered in transplants, especially corneal from cadavars!
— Kuru, which was endemic in Papua New Guinea among the Fore tribes, was felt to be transmitted from person to person by ritual cannibalism [8] . The cessation of these practices in the 1950's had been thought to end incident cases of kuru; however, increased active surveillance in Papua New Guinea led to the identification of 11 new cases of kuru between July 1996 and June 2004, with a likely incubation period of more than 50 years in some cases [9] . Kuru also remains important because of some overlapping clinical and pathologic features with iatrogenic CJD, vCJD, and GSS. Hence, it provides clues to the pathogenesis of other human prion diseases.
it is a strange circuitous route on the evolution of morality.. but hey everyone has a theory so why not?.. just try to make the end match the beginning with some sliver agreed upon science -- we read the lady's home journal you know, and just so we are all on the same track..
adieu
P.S.. where is good old RAV.. you know one of the few non-Muslim members here that I actually liked, and I can honestly count them on less than three fingers..he was a sage and had old world charm... too bad he is gone ..
