    aren’t prion diseases usually just a thing for the brain? though I haven’t considered the medication aspect… I want to eat a human heart some day, any other things I’d need to consider? I guess I’ll just take the risk with the medications.

        While this is true, the main prion diseases that occur in humans do come specifically from neural matter.

        the funny thing is I’m being entirely serious. I need a heart transplant and if I survive I want to turn my old heart into burgers and share them with my girlfriend and boyfriend.

          Is there enough substance to turn it into burgers, plural? An average human heart is, what, fist-sized I think? Seems to me like you’d get one, maybe one and a half patties out of that, no? And you probably can’t even use all of it, I’d assume.

            A pure heart burger probably wouldn’t be good anyways. You could mix it with another meat

          Would you be able to get your old heart tho? I don’t imagine hospitals give back organs to people

            the doctor said I can get it back. though it’d be in formaldehyde and after they did sciencey stuff on it, not sure if its still edible at that point. if eating it isn’t an option I’ll make pendants out of it. cut a part off and put it in a little glass vial.

          That’s why I eat lots of chicken from the worst methods of rearing when having an infection: cheap antibiotics.

      Don’t you want to eat the crispy thinking bacon? Your loss. Next thing you’re telling me you don’t want to eat the testicles …
