Would you resort to cannibalism to survive?

In a scenario that you were stranded with no food but had access to a clean water source, and your companions had already succumbed to starvation or died of other random causes, would you eat their corpses?

Would it make a difference if it was someone you knew, such as a family member or friend?

Would it make a difference if you knew there was a high probability of rescue, but had to eat the meat to stay alive until then?

No thanks, you can die from cannibalism anyway so it's not worth it.

Probably. I imagine starvation would make me do some strange things.

Would like to think I would do anything to survive..but if it were my parents corpses laying in front of me, not sure I could. Though I have never been starving so I don't know.

From a standpoint of being not in a situation at the moment, it seems rather extreme.

Unless I was thrown into that kind of situation, I couldn't give this a clear cut answer. Starvation can really make one change into animalistic qualities so who knows.


My Latin teacher always jokes (semi-serious I'd say) about in the event of an apocalyptic like situation, he wouldn't hesitate to become a cannibal. Dog eat dog world yo.

Of course not, there's obviously more viable ways to survive.
I once saw in a sex movie they survived off of each others orgasms. I'm sure if it had to come down to that then..


Oops, I didn't read the opening post.. but now I did..

Okay so they're already dead.. sure why not?

Hard to say, but if rescue was likely but I knew I would starve to death before it got there then yes I would almost certainly resort to caniballism. If rescue is unlikely then I likely wouldn't since I'm going to end up starving to death eventually so why bother eating the people.

I don't think vegans would care if you're eating people that already have died from starvation (no murder involved, so to speak). But then again, I can't speak for all vegans.. I'm sure everyone has their own reasons..

Or rather, I think in this scenario the people that would be most offended are the people who believe in the whole cemetery/funeral ritual stuff

They absolutely would. Most vegans (not all) care more about being morally superior to the rest of us than the animals they supposedly wish to save.

Well.. Probably. I guess I'd vomit a few times but then eat it. The question is, should I cook the flesh or just eat it raw? I hate how blood tastes, so raw would be disgusting, but the smell from cooking human flesh is pretty horrible too..

In all seriousness though, I would hope not. At one point in time I had thought that its okay if the human just died or if the human was okay with it, but not too terribly long ago I changed my mind about that. I don't like the idea of cannibalism. Just let me starve to death. Perhaps I'll make myself feel full by drinking the water. Search for other food sources.

I don't like the idea of it. Not because I've got a problem with eating a human(Why not,we eat everything else?), just that I feel it would taste nasty as shit but if I was starving, I'm pretty sure I would do it.

If you can cook it, I don't see why it would taste different than any other meat.

Depends on the person I'm stuck with in that situation.

Girlfriend or someone I'd have sex with? NO
Family members? NO
People I have a grudge on? YES
Annoying little brats? YES
