Ignoring obvious ethical and 'yuck' factors, this may reintroduce many forgotten diseases. For many parasites human body is a dead-end - they can't complete their complex life-cycle because nobody usually eats humans. Well, until now ;) Also see Kuru disease [1]. Maybe this Swedish scientist should join forces with the Norwegian scientist, Dr. Jørgen Asbjørnsen, who has perfected a procedure that “downsizes” people, shrinking them down to five inches tall, in order to combat climate change. One normal-sized human corpse can feed an entire village of miniaturized people ;) In "The 100" SciFi series, eating humans serves dual purpose: population reduction and source of protein required for survival (they found out that plant-based protein wasn't sufficient).
