Real Life Zombies

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

OK, let's say this crazy US government experiment was going on in some country that we've never head of. This experiment ends up creating tons of people who's bodies NEED to consume human brains to survive. They are completely average people exvept the only thing they can eat is human brains.

Should they be charged with murder for killing people?

I was just thinking about this. Like what if all of north america got bombed with this weird disease. (Let's face it, can you think of a better terrorist weapon???) What would we do? What do you think we'd do anyway. Would we have human slaughterhouses? How we we decide who dies to feed the rest? I mean a lot of people would have to die. Would we go to 3rd world countries and just butcher them and send packages of the brains to grocery stores here? What the hell is the use for a grocery store, all we eat are brains? I guess we'd have all sorts of flavors maybe... and methods of cooking them like bbq brains, smoked brains etc. Even if we all starved ourselves and only ate the minimum brains required I wonder how many brains per lifetime each person would have to eat. I don't think we'd have a choice besides butchering people in mega populated countries... How would we decide though? Giving money to families for each family member they send to our slaughterhouses? I guess in any situation poor people get the short end of the stick.

Maybe criminals should lose their brains? Like all criminals. I don't like the idea, but hey people have to die so that the rest of us can live, right? I guess killing random people on the street for food would still be considered murder, you'd have to get imported brain from the super market.

Discuss a world of brain eating. Remember, it's not like we WANT brains, we NEED them.

[Burning in Hell]

My guess is that we would create a system where those deemed "unworthy" (probably insane people or people suffering from severe mental disorders, or perhaps criminals like you've said) would serve as breeding stock and would be kept in something similar to farmhouses where they would be slaughtered as soon as their brains would attain maximum size. Their bodies would then probably be re-cycled in one way or another...

Of course, many would rather starve to death, but some would prefer to survive whatever the cost.

Oh, great reply. :)

I guess the mentally handicapped would be the first logical choice.

Do you think people would rather starve to death? I mean it would be pretty crazy and confusing to just wake up one day with the need to eat human brains. You'd get the same cravings you'd get for food, and to have such a sudden and horrific change would definitely shock people into a lot of things. I'm sure people will be starving to death, but I think most people will choose survival. It is our strongest instinct after all.

Well thanks, great subject :)

Well the first days would be total chaos of course. People would have these urges and fight them off, not knowing what the hell was happening to them. Some would crack early on and give up to their urges, so people would then understand that this was a widespread thing not only limited to themsleves and begin talking about it. There would be two main camps of course : those that would refuse to do it under any circumstance and those who would see their own survival and the survival of the human species as primordial.

From there there would probably be a second period of chaos, as more and more people, understanding that they had to eat human brains but not knowing exactly whose brains they could or should eat would start killing others right and left, probably people from the "starving" side. Then, governments would probably step in an institute some kind of temporary law stating who can and can't be killed while gradually buidling up the system I talked about in my first reply through audiences, commissions and the likes...

How about, how are we handling it in 5-10 years?

they'd have to declare some kind of martial law to control the masses while they sat in committees, we'd all have starved to death by the time the goverment gets off it's collective ass and actually achieves something...

... but then we'd have people with guns and military backing needing the same thing as the rest of us, who'd control them??

I think it would be total chaos until there were very few of us left, kind of like a 28 Days Later scenario

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

I say we drop all the zombies in any country that is hell bent on world domination. Let God or the higher being or whatever ur beliefs are, sort out the good from the bad.

Is that a good enuff answer MD?:p

:) I'd really rather have the government pay people to risk their lives to get these brains in those countries rather then risk my own life though.

Also I forgot to mention that the disease is not contagious and can't be passed down to our children. So scratch that thing about the grocery stores only stocking brains, but I mean they'd have to have a lot of readily available brains to eat. We would heavily outnumber the normies and being the overwhelming majority we'd pretty much need to be catered to.

They are already in the US dude :)

just keeping the thread relevant on the second page. ;)

What makes us with the disease more worthy of life than other people? We should only be allowed to eat brains of people that have recently died, not kill anyone for it.

That or we should just kill ourselves or starve to death.

[Phalanx]

Fried lambs brains are all good...textures a little strange though...
Raw people brains? Would that give the zombies mad (undead) people disease?

It's not about that.

Let's say we're both kidnapped by some SAW fan psychopath. He locks us both in a room with shotguns and we wake up and he says that he's going to fill the room with deadly gas in 60 seconds unless one of us kills the other. Upon kiling th eother person, the survivor would be allowed to go. Now, it's true that he might gas you anyway. That's besides the point, we're assuming he's going to let you go.

What do you do? There is only one answer.

There wasa 20-30 year span where we would get a type of disease much like mad cow disease for cows, but now we can apparantly eat brains without danger of getting it. It doesn't make much sense really, you might want to do some research on it.

I remember making a thread about it at one time.

See, I told you some would rather starve to death rather than survive :)

I'll be back tomorrow to continue on this...

[BlackSunProductions]

What's all this talk about killing? We can grow human organs in pigs. Why not start a brain farm... sell the shit like heroine and send the pork meat off to Jimmy Dean for extra cash.:p

[bwind22]

BlackSun is on to something here. With the progress made in stem cell research these past few years, I'm pretty sure they could just grow human brains in labs for us to eat if it came to that. No one would need to get killed, just give tissue samples.

[bloodrayne]

I don't really see how there would be a problem...

LOTS of people die every day, they wouldn't need their brains anymore

Executed criminals...Their skin and tissue is already being used in some countries to make beauty products, they wouldn't need their brains either

Consider how many infected people would RATHER die than live to only eat human brains...Those people wouldn't need their brains anymore either...That would be kinda like a donation...So, that would limit the number of people who need to eat brains, and add to the food supply of the others


5-10 years?...It's not contagious?...As the infected die, they feed others...There will ALWAYS be criminals and recently deceased...And some of the infected who HAVE survived by eating people's brains, may simply decide that they don't wanna do it anymore...Less demand, more supply

Mortuaries, prisons, hospitals all send the 'product' to a manufacturer (there would have to be one at some point) who cleans, prepares and packages the product...Then it's distributed to grocery stores along with all the regular food



Now, if EVERYONE were infected (and it WAS contagious), all that I have mentioned before would still work, except that we would have to accept the fact that the human race was inevitably going to become extinct, so EVERYONE would have to be sterilized so that there would be no further 'demand', and we could continue to survive on the brains of the aforementioned until the human race simply died out, or there was a cure

Like I said...I don't see a problem...Logic

ahh but your logic is flawed, BR. ;)

less than 150,000 people die every day

A human brain is 3lbs and roughly 2000 calories so most people would need to eat atleast one human brain per day.

There are 331.5 million people who would be infected with this strange physical/mental disease. So it would take over 6 fricken years to save up enough dead people brains to feed us all for one day and besides we'd all be 6 years dead. :)

One thing is, I don't know how little food people can go on... If I were to make a wild guess, I would say we could live be starving ourselves completely for 3 weeks and then eating a brain, 3 week starvation then another brain etc. So every 3 months we'd eat 4 brains. That's 16 brains per person every year. 55 million people die every year in the world and we'd need 5300 million brains. Holy crap... we are SO doomed.

Let's just face facts people, 330 million people need a lot more than 150,000 brains a day. There's no nice way about it, we need to find some fresh brains!

How many people do you think would rather die then eat human brains for food? This is a disease that makes us NEED and WANT to consume human brains, would you kill yourself for wanting something and being able to get it? It's not like we'd need to eat it but can't force ourselves to, we want to. That's part of the disease, I mean if it wasn't we could eat animal brains instead. Still don't see a problem?! huh ? huh ?? :p

So with our need being 5300 Million brains a year, and the 55 million dead people that don't really make a dent in that and Holy fuck we're going to eat everyone in the world in under 2 years.

[Phalanx]

I would eat mouse brains, on toothpicks.
...don't much like mice.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

I guess we are completely doomed and the only reasonable option would be to eat eachothers brains until we die out. The rest of the world can go about their lives in peace... but do you think that's how it would happen? Can you see a tearful george w. bush addressing the people with "I hate to break it to you folks, but we're all gone die. America has been defeated by the great evils and we're all just gone have to sit her stirrin just eat eachothers brains until we die out ok?"

nuh uh I don't see it going down like that. Oh and as for us Canadians, we'll pretty much go along with what ever you guys figure out. We're easy like that. Not trying to influence anything but... huge zombie vs human war? :cool:

Would it be possible to make it absolutely 100% impossible to tell the difference between a human brain and an animal brain? With this disease, we know the difference.

[Phalanx]

I'd eat the mouse brains anyway, just because.

Do the brains lose goodness on the way out? could you eat brains then, er, recycle?

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

definitely no :p

So, you're a Canadian too, eh?

I must admit I hadn't done the maths when I did my first replies, great job on that by the way. This bars out my idea of a widespread organized system then, but I still think some would survive the chaos. I don't see Bush laying down on this (does he ever)? He'd probably pass martial law as well as a special law granting him a longer (if not permanent) mandate, and then the military would seize everything up, and begin to harvest brains from the kind of breeding system I mentioned but on a much smaller scale. Hell, he would perhaps even plan military raids on some poorly armed countries, invoking excuses, with the objectif of bringing back human cattle. (And for the others who have mentioned technological ways of growing brains, you sure know how to take the fun off of a story, so let's say that with this disease, you have now choice but to eat a living brain harvested from a human being!!!)

Of course, if this was limited to North America alone, others countries would probably be waging war very soon against the zombies of North America for many different reasons. Payback for some, or a simple desire to get rid of these "abominations" for others. Of course, with no economy left, the US army would not be able to withstand these attacks for very long. So either way I think we'd all be screwed very fast!

I really hope Kemal decides to post about a north america vs the world war situation. All I know is that we have good position on the map as far as armies trying to invade are concerned.

Yeah, I know North America is nearly impregnable in theory, but in this instance we would be talking about a severely diminished defensive force with no self-sustaining economy and manufacturing sector. They would hold up for a while I think, but then ammunitions would start to run low and soon it would be the good old unarmed zombie/armed soldier standoff. Bet that would be quite a show!

[Despare]

If I turned into such a creature then I suppose all that I could do is become the monster that this "infection" wants to turn me into. I suspect there would be a lot of other people who simply let the "need to feed" take over. I think if it was worldwide there would be no individual governments after a time, just the strong and the dead.
