Every indication is its sin, that it would be a pagan practice. Anyone that engaged in that behavior, was definitely not listening to God.
It's safe to assume some of the people Israel went to war with, engaged in some of those practices. When Israel picked up on pagan things, idol worship, and false gods , it was against God's commandments. And they paid the price for it. God was never happy with pagan things .
There are many scriptures where God taught Not, to even touch a dead body.
People who eat unclean things, you might as well be asking for something like Ebola .

Again, they not only ate unclean animals in Liberia, where the out brake happened, some people there were eating monkeys . So listen to God's health laws. Human bodies would be along the same lines If they where doing that in Liberia, then there you go. If people out there still don't understand this -

I would say yes it is a sin, because not once does the bible mention other people as being food.
It says that of plants, and it says that of animals but not people.
However the bible does mentions times where when something is initially sin, then in certain instances it is not.
I would think that if you are in a plan crash in the snowy mountains, and started to eat the dead because that was the only source of food to sustain your life then I don't think so.
Another instance is the bible says drunkenness is a sin, but in Psalms it does say that it is ok for one to become drunk to forget about their sorrows.
Another instance also is that of the prostitute that was allowed to lie to protect the servants of God she had in her house.

eh well in general everyday life i would avoid it. But if something happened to me like the plane crash in the andes in the 70s i believe where the option was eat flesh or die, then i'd probably just choke it down. Its never directly spoken against and choosing not to would be suicide in that case which many on here do find to be a sin.
this is an interesting article... a bit thick with jargon though.

The Word of our King Deuteronomy 28:53-57 53 Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you.54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. 56 The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.
Ezekiel 5:8-12 8 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will inflict punishment on you in the sight of the nations. 9 Because of all your detestable idols, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again. 10 Therefore in your midst parents will eat their children, and children will eat their parents. I will inflict punishment on you and will scatter all your survivors to the winds. 11 Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your vile images and detestable practices, I myself will shave you; I will not look on you with pity or spare you. 12 A third of your people will die of the plague or perish by famine inside you; a third will fall by the sword outside your walls; and a third I will scatter to the winds and pursue with drawn sword.

[SUP]25 [/SUP]And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]And he said, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
[SUP]28 [/SUP]And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.

But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof:
therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh:
for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it,
and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make
an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make
an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of
the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
