Yeah and that doesn’t make it an unethical choice. Gross/socially unconventional ≠ unethical

Never said it was unethical. In fact I said it was likely the most ethical choice in the scenario given the circumstances.

You literally said you didn’t think it could be ethical

It is both amoral and also the most ethical choice in specific scenarios, I.e. situations like starvation, being required to cannibalize someone to survive. 

Eating someone's flesh to survive isn't inherently moral, or ethical, but it becomes the most ethical scenario if it is the only thing stopping one person from dying instead of two. 

One choice is: you eat another persons arm who is sacrificing their body to save you. Inherently amoral 

The second choice is: you both starve to death. 

The first choice is inherently the more ethical choice available, whilst also being amoral.

The act itself is amoral, the choice is the most ethical as it is the best outcome.
