Cannibalism Is Not Technically Illegal Under German Law?!?

Though this is an old story, I don’t think it can ever become less disturbing than the first time one heard it.
Armin MeiwesArmin Meiwes, a computer expert, met 43-year-old Bernd-Jurgen Brandes in early 2001, after Mr Meiwes advertised on websites for “young, well-built men aged 18 to 30 to slaughter”, the German daily newspaper Bild reported at the time of his arrest.

Mr Meiwes told investigators he took Mr Brandes back to his home, where Mr Brandes agreed to have part of his genitals cut off, which Mr Meiwes then flambeed and served up to eat together.

Mr Meiwes says he then killed Mr Brandes with his consent – recording the two-hour event on video.

Prosecutors are seeking a conviction of murder for “sexual satisfaction”, as cannibalism is not technically illegal under German law!?!
