Analysis Of Why Cannibalism Is Bad For You

This article was written by Jason Hayes on July 26, 2012 about a disease that you can get from eating human brains or just human flesh, but it is mostly found in the brain. The premis of this article was the foundation of most molecular biology

The article that I have chosen, that pertains to my book, is called “Why cannibalism is bad for you”. I have chosen this article because it talks about cannibalism which is one of the main horrific parts of my book. It talks about why being a cannibal is really bad for you. I mean the people in my book are not technically human but they do have to survive off of human flesh they look human but they aren’t, however eating people is the subject of the article and the book.

The main points of my

article are the cannibalistic group that I believe the disease “kuru” began. The Fore tribe in Papua New Guinea, which had a ritual funeral ceremony to eat the bodies of there dead, the epidemic was controlled but Kuru is nothing to be laughed at, it is a death sentence almost the incubation period can be up to 60 years but you will die from it eventually. The main cause for this disease is eating a human brain, which is pretty ironic because the disease eats the brain so if a human decided to eat someones brain and contracted the disease there own mind would start to disintegrate. The symptoms of kuru are tremors, loss of balance, and headaches, even though the disease possibly stays dormant for a long time once those symptoms start you only have a few years left to live, there are other diseases that are rare although not as unique as kuru, such as mad cow disease, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, both are prion-based illnesses. These diseases mostly are based from cannibalism such as mad cow, that comes from cows eating scrap parts of other cows.
I learned a lot about this disease and how it had possibly originated, this should be like a warning for all crazy people who want to eat other people to not do it in the first place, because chances are you will die of a brain eating disease.
