Common perception sees the act of cannibalism as that of an extreme taboo, or absolute last resort option of obtaining sustenance in a survival scenario. Aside the completely natural history it has and be that as it may, with the exception of the state of Idaho there is no jurisdictional or federal prohibition against the act of cannibalism in the United States. Obviously where the practice would be foiled is in the methods of obtaining the meat to consume, even if it's consensually permitted; it amounts to murder, the desecration of a corpse or health hazard— even in the hypothetical case of a suicide where the cadaver is bequeathed with instructions/allowance is for such a purpose. That may be so, but there is still a way to do it legally in reality.
Extreme body modification is a world which exists within its own area of legal ambiguity. While it is not quite lawful in regards to certain practices, namely with acts like nullification— where a body part, typically an erogenous zone, is removed for aesthetic purposes— it isn't wholly illegal if done by a licensed medical professional. Typically done by the individual wishing to have the cosmetic adoption but not impossible to find a health official with such a proper expertise to do so.
In the instances of surgery which require the removal of a limb, it's not wholly out of the ordinary for the patient to be allowed to keep the severed ligature; though in that there is a lot of bureaucracy involved and it's easier to keep smaller appendages like a finger or toe. Sure, in regards to bodily alteration it's more dubious and then one may have to travel overseas to have the wished gone part hacked off, however then it's a customs dispute more than anything in taking it back to dish up given it's technically considered the transportation of biological matter. However, when back on home soil and with the removed ligature, there's as mentioned, no law that would prevent eating of it aside from personal discretion.
