Well, if it was the ONLY option left for
survival...
I dunno if I could physically do it
though! And how would you decide which of
you goes??

I would do it if it was the only choice
(or to take the spirit of my enemies!
 Jus kiddin) I
guess the oldest one or the person least
likely to survive the predicament should
go first. I think it would be better to
practice cannibalism in the mountains
where it is snowy and cold, than in the
dessert. The risk of spoilage would be
much increased, and the hapless cannibals
could get food poisoning and die anyway.

If it was the only means of survival, yes
probably I would but only if someone died
of natural causes
(starvation/dehydration). I could never
kill a person for that reason.... no way.
Then again, I have a very weak stomach so
I actually might not be able to... but you
never know what you'd be able to do in a
life or death situation. People eat bugs
and leaves to stay alive, people fight off
animal or human attackers.... people can
do things they never thought possible when
faced with death.
Really, it's a hypothetical what-if
situation that hopefully none of us will
ever experience.

Oh yes, definitely. I say that with no
hesitation from the moment I read the
topic title, lol.
I'm sorry, but if you're dead... and I'm
not... and there's no food in the middle
of a mountain pass in the middle of
winter, I am eating your ass lol.

*Birch hightails it to the bathroom yet
again*
The movie, "Alive", based on real events,
tells the story of men who resorted to
eating the frozen flesh of their buddies
to survive.
http

ce_Flight_571
Anyways, I think my survival need would
overwhelm my horrification. Plus, I have
never known *true* hunger. I can't
imagine what that's like. It might be
enough to drive me to lengths I had never
imagined possible.

I wouldn't kill a human to eat them, even
if not doing so meant my certain death.
However, if it was the difference between
life and death then I think I might eat
human flesh if the person had died anyway.

I don't know if I could murder
someone to eat them either.

I am pretty sure I couldn't kill a person
to eat them. I can't even kill a cow and
they are much slower. I woud be willing
to off myself for the sake of my family,
though. Brings new meaning to the term
"rump roast" doesn't it?

you can speculate all you want but how
many of us have truly been starving to the
point of certain death if we don't eat
something? it's easy to say what you
would or wouldn't do now but ya never know
right?? that's what makes those movies
and books about it so creepy. maybe you
have to be a little bit kookoo with hunger
and dehydration before you will resort to
it. but anyway, one good thing about
leather shoes, they say you can get some
protien from them if you're starving, if
you're able to get them down that is.

We eat the flesh of just about any other
animal, be it mammal, bird, or fish. just
think of it as pork. and yeah, no problem,
course then again i say this knowing that
if it ever did happen i would be the one
to cook it

Not in my opinion, and clearly not
in their opinion either...
