All my thought experiment is designed to do is to remind anti-speciesists that there is no clear moral difference between eating mentally-challenged humans and eating animals. If we feel differently about the two that is likely to be due to various biases that are not morally relevant.
This might cause some people to rethink eating animals, as they wouldn’t eat the humans. If you would eat the humans however then this thought experiment is unlikely to have an affect on you—I wasn’t intending for this thought experiment to be relevant to everyone anyway.
