This is an idea I had years ago that I wrote up, but didn’t do anything with. I think I wanted to do a series of these blogs, but never wrote any more and this just got buried under all my other half-finished blog posts. I recently discovered it, and figured I might as well use it.
I think this is a really
weird idea and someone – possibly me if I ever get around to it – could make a
good story out of it. But here
goes. What if, one day these aliens (We’ll
call them Aliens X) show up and announce that after scanning a human with some
medical device, they believe these other aliens (Aliens Y) would find humans
tasty. Aliens X would then ask if they
could purchase some human meat to sell to Aliens Y to see if they find it
pleasant and would like some more. Now Aliens
X are not evil. They don’t want to
gather up humans in their prime and send them to a slaughterhouse, all they are
asking for are medical waste and donated corpses. What I was thinking about, was if Aliens Y do
find human a delicacy, would people sign contracts so that when they die,
Aliens X would pay their families so many Galactic Credits per pound? Would there be a market? Would you sign up for it?
