Would you ever eat a human?

Miakal

Let's say you were trapped in a desert, or the jungle, or in Alaska after your plane had crashed: would you eat a human to stay alive?

Could be dead, could be alive. Either way it has to be a human. Could you do it?

Again it's life or death.

Let's say one of these people were sick and about to die. Would you kill them for food? Why wouldn't you?

I know I wouldn't cut the guy up or cook him, so in that sense, no. However if someone else was brave enough to do so, I may have to eat some of their cooking. I would probably feel very sick though or be unable to do it.

I think I'd have to go through every option I had before I'd start eating people...but if I was gonna die, then yeah. I'd eat it all!

Freak

Yeah, I bet I would. If I knew I would die otherwise, it would probably make it a lot easier. I would try and check my options though, fo sho.

I'd do it no problems. I probably couldn't kill someone, but eating them to keep myself alive wouldn't really bother me.

Miakal

I would kill someone if I didn't think they were going to make it much longer anyway.

Say they were starving too and probably only had a short amount of time to go. I would do it while I had the strength.

Survival of the fittest at it's very best. I'm fit and hungry, you know? You have to.

Yes..I would have to know for sure that I was gong to die though. Like I hadn't eaten in a long time and there was no help on the way anytime soon.

I read this story a few weeks ago about these three people in America. You be the judge on if it's right or wrong.

Three goldminers had gotten lost in Alaska and couldn't find any food. One was injured and as his health went down the shittier. The other two were starving to death and couldn't wait any longer so they killed the injured one.

One of the remaining two went out one day looking for food or some kind of help. When he came back to the camp his friend shot at him to try and kill him for food. The guy who got shot at got his gun and killed the other one and then ate him.

Eventually someone found him and brought him back to town. When they found out what he did he had to go to prison for murder.

Is any of this wrong to you?

So what is the court saying...it's ok to eat someone to survive after they have already died? it's not ok to kill someone to eat them even if they are going to die and you are going to die? Or it isn't ok to kill anybody under any circumstance and if you are going to die then you are fucked?

Miakal

The court didn't think it was ok to kill someone, even though they were dying, to keep yourself alive.
