cannibalism

[joelmarkel]

And for gods sake if you're starving in the freezing cold about hmm 5 miles above sea level on a mountain side, animal instinct will kick in real quick I'm assuming so... don't knock it till you've tried it?

 

[DarkRyter]

Yes. I've heard it's similar to beef.

Though I have also heard it is monstrously difficult to cook.

 

[Puzzles]

I'd just vomit it back up. Apparently the cheeks are the best bit, though.

Im pretty sure this thread has been done before. But I would most certainly be a cannibal for survival. I also read these journals of people killing and eating people for pleasure (for the most part sexual), it really got me thinking.

 

[Treefingers]

Id eat your mum.

 

[TailsRodrigez]

no i wouldn't

i might use their bodies to attempt luring a polar bear.
that i will then kill with something sharp (probably not)
and eat him.

there are no polar bears there.

yea, i would eat a dead human if i had to survive.

 

[Bouncing Ferret FIlm]

hmmmm mEAT the people. lol

 

[RoseBridge]

What do you mean: "if you needed to"?

There has to be an excuse?

ba dum pish! but anyway there's something eerie about it, I dont know if I could pass on some human flesh, cooked of course if it came up.

 

[The Lizard of Odd]

I honestly have no idea. 4 days into starving, freezing and all-around kinda dying I might. But here and now when I'm full and happy it's hard to imagine it happening.
Actually, probably not with me, considering I have low blood sugar and would probably just pass out after a day. XD

 

[badgersprite]

I can't predict what I would do in a survival situation, since the part of the brain that inhibits cannibalism is the first part to die in situations of extreme starvation. I am a vegetarian, though, so it would be hard for me to eat the flesh of any animal, never mind another person, but I'm not superstitious or anything so I don't really think there's anything particularly immoral about eating someone who's already dead if my life depended on it compared to eating any other dead animal.

*shrug*

Instinct is a powerful thing. If you're not prepared to do what it takes to survive, then that answers what's going to happen to you, I guess.

All I should say

 

[kannibus]

Well I used to eat KFC a lot back in uni, that was pretty close to cannibalism already, wasn't it?

 

[Amondren]

Nah i dont think i could kill or even eat a human being i'm just a nice person O

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Yes, I would eat other people, provided that I wasn't eaten first.

 

[Pegghead]

I think eating someone steps a toe out of the boundaries of morality for me. I'd either let them eat me if they agreed to and desperately wanted to survive, or I'd ask the others to kill me if I was begginning to desire their flesh.

 

[delet]

I think I'd just find myself a gun and allow the other people to cannibalize me first...

 

[Darkmark44]

Do I have to have a reason? Also, even though the fat ones are tempting... fat is really really chewy.

What do you mean: "if you needed to"?

There has to be an excuse?

well... its like -40 degrees... and you have like chocolate and wine to survive

What's wrong with chocolate and wine?

You'd be pretty well off if you had wine to survive on. You just have to fetch the scones from the expensive picnic hamper instead of eating people.
