There generally is a concensus on the reason whycannibalism would be permissable. That is because of survival. There have many instances of such things.
-The Uruguyan rugby team that ate those who deceased in the plane crash. They later admitted that human flesh had a good 'sweet' taste to it (movie based on this, ALIVE)
-Soldiers who fled on a raft fromthe Bay of Pigs incident, ate those who died while they were lost at sea.
An instance where it was considered immoral but still permissable:
-Two adults and a child were stranded on an islandafter their ship had sunk. After several days, the two adults killed the child and ate him. A fewdays later, they were rescued. They were not charged with murder and the actions were deemed to have been caused by survival instincts. The three persons were not related in any way.
People generally would disagree in the morality of this issue, but there are things to consider. Even though many say they would never do it, you cant be so sure when your body goes into survival mode (your body wants to live) and you must what is necessary to survive.
