not necessarily unhealthy
Hi Kalli and fetish,
not all of the waste a human body produces is necessarily unhealthy. Provided the person is healthy, there's no risk in drinking piss. In fact it's almost spetical(? is this the right expression for a fluid without any bacterias and things?).
I'm not so sure about shit. There are some more things involved there and it's not so clean. So there is a risk eating that.
But surely, as long as the "delivering" person is healthy, it`s not a big risk.
Debunking the Biological Myths
You CAN drink piss and it probably won't hurt you, but when you consider the actual chemical makeup of it, I don't know why in the hell you'd want to. Unless, of course, you were adrift in a liferaft or something.
Urine gets its name from urea, a hydrous ammonia compund. Also mixed in with urea, just to add some flavor, there are ketones, broken down bits of whatever indigestible liquid content you may have eaten or drunk, including but not limited to, alcohol, sugars, ionic salts and, if memory serves, dead white blood cells. It's not something I'd want to actually swallow personally. Taking it orally I could see, but not actively drinking it.
Feces is another story altogether. The health risks of feces are numerous. Many parasitic infections are passed through feces, as well as about five thousand strains of bacteria. The most malevolant of which is e coli, which does occur naturally in the human digestive tract, but below the stomach. It is when e coli is introduced into the stomach that you have all kinds of problems, like FindingFantasy was saying.
I would definitely not recommend ingesting feces or even putting it into your mouth. It's just not worth the risks.

There's a huge difference...
... between putting your tongue one someone's asshole after they've just washed it and/or had an enema (in the case of porno) and chomping down someone's dropping. It's kind of like comparing kittens to lions.
But, hey, if you think it's all good and safe, then by all means go do it and have fun. Just remember, everyone that plays Russian Roulette loses eventually. It's your crap shoot, no pun intended, if you feel perfectly safe playing with your health like that, then you go right ahead.
I will say this, though. Your friend is an idiot. You don't eliminate more germs from heat and friction than with soap and water. In fact, if you tried the paper towel method mentioned before in your post, you'd wind up icking up more germs off the paper towel than you would killing anything. An interesting point though, is that there's really no such thing as antibacterial soap, because all soap (and most anything that makes a lather) will kill most bacteria, but more importantly, it will remove the minute traces of dirt and other matter from your skin that provide the breeding ground for bacteria.
Besides, your body is covered in billions and billions of innocuous bacteria anyway. You couldn't survive without them. If you eliminated all the bacteria from your body, you'd die. Simple as that.
There's no e coli outbreak for a multitude of reasons. One is that e coli is not communicable. You can't catch it from the air or from, say, shaking hands with someone that has an e coli infection. You CAN get it from feces, though. In fact, I'm looking through some web pages on scat play while I am writing this and I'm seeing a lot of them mention that you probably shouldn't eat it just to be safe. Oh, and all those porn videos out there that show someone eating feces, just remember you can turn the camera off and do loads of special effects. Just because it looks like someone's muching a butt nugget doesn't necessarily mean that what they're really chewing on isn't a Baby Ruth bar.
But again, I'm not telling anyone what to do. I'm only posting an advisory for your health and the health of anyone else who reads this.
More information on scat play and the ingesting of feces can be found here, here, here, here, here and here.
I gotta put my two cents in...
I am not the most experienced toilet but I have eaten a lot more shit than most people I know - indeed, more than most people period.
Anyway, I have never gotten sick and many of my toilet friends have never gotten sick. Maybe we are lucky, who knows. I wonder sometimes if the risk is not overstated simply to discourage it.
Just my thoughts.

It's not, but go for it anyway, dude.
