Don't you remember the one about not coveting your neighbor's ass?

Robert I failed to punctuate properly as posted in haste. My intention was to convey it did not bother their conscience. Women tody have no problem with adornments in church. Yet a few hundred years ago it was considered a terrible sin. In other words it is not inborn but learned. There is a fine-line between conscience desire and inner natures guidance. However what ever your conscience has developed makes it harmful to disobey.

Actually, cannibalism would be forbidden by the Old Testament Jewish dietary laws - humans don't chew a cud (at least most of us don't) or have split hooves. But when it comes to Christians not under Mosaic law, there is no Biblical commandment forbidding it (ignoring nihil's funny post about ass-coveting). The close-to-universal abhorrence toward cannibalism and belief that it is wrong - in the absence of an explicit religious commandment - would be consistent with the idea that much of our knowledge of right and wrong is inborn.
