Well yes, soylent green _is_ people, but you can't just apply existing homicide laws to a business like ours. The entire humans-as-nutritional-sludge industry would be out of business.
@plexus Isn't the entire Soylent business just based on assisted suicide? If you can't take it anymore, if you don't want to live anymore in a dying world, you can watch films of the Earth as it was before the biosphere began to unravel while drinking the poison that will painlessly end your life. And then the proteins and fats in your body get recycled into Soylent Green.
