Idaho is the only U.S. state that discusses cannibalism explicitly within its legislation. Cannibalism there is defensible in cases of “extreme life-threatening conditions as the only apparent means of survival,” but conviction on a charge of cannibalism in any other case is punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
