So lets say you and a group of people go on a hiking trip and end up trapped. Some guy dies of his wounds. You know help is coming but it will take a few days and you're out of food... There's no way you can survive without food, and help is coming for sure. Will you eat the dead guy? You can cook him..

Personally I think I'd rather die instead of resorting to cannibalism. I wouldn't be able to live with the fact that I actually ate a human.

At the moment, I have to say no, I would not. If I was staring death in the face and had to make the choice.... not sure.

Um cause it's another human. I'm not sure if any species actually eats another of their own.

They'd need to eat a lot of garlic and roll themselves in basil and butter first for me to even consider it

Nope, I would eat roots, leaves, berries, grass..anything I could find rather than resort to cannibalism.

I have no problem with cannibalism in that circumstance. I wouldn't know where to start cooking a freshly killed anything but, that aside, bring on the other other white meat :)

Just out of curiosity, to those that said no way, why are you so against cannibalism? The guy is already dead and it's sort of the same as eating any other mammal.

What exactly about his wounds caused his death? Did he bleed out? Then yes, I suppose I would if I absolutely had to. If he died from infection, though, no thanks. Either way you could probably round up enough fruit/berries/grubs to survive long enough for rescue to arrive without resorting to cannibalism.

Yes, I think it's been proven over time people will do what they need to survive in extreme situations. I'm sure I'd haunt me forever, but I'd rather be alive if others had passed, than just sit and die.

You can survive a few days without food, I'd eat bugs before I'd eat the dead guy.

In my rationale mind all cosy and comfy on a full stomach in my leath chair.. No.. If I was stuck on a raft starving to death, emaciated.. IDK, your brain chemistry and thought process changes completely.

any and all omnivore or carnivore spieces will devour their own, especially when they are faced with starvation.. The drive to survive is a powerful thing. And its actually quite common in nature.

I would have to agree, preying mantis female bites off the head of the male

Baby Spiders feed off the mother spider I think, (I could be wrong about that)

Dogs will eat one another, and humans have as well.
