cannibalism question

[bradical]

just finished watching a history chanel show on cannibals and it got me thinking, if you were in a dire situation, plane crash in the andes, snowed in on a mountain pass, etc, and faced death by starvation, would you eat the flesh of those who didn't make it in order to survive?

i believe i would. the human survival instinct is pretty strong and i imagine that at some point i'd just have to do what needs to be done.

i also believe that if i survived an was rescused, i'd be haunted by my actions for the rest of my life. damn catholic guilt, even when you don't believe anymore, it never completely goes away.

But then you'd turn into a Windigo...no one wants that.

100% yes

[Keith P.]

Yes, I would.

I'd have to wait until I was REALLY hungry though.

I ate the pilot in mid-flight once just to find out the answer.

No turbulence, but crazy indigestion.

as long as my hypothetical doesn't take place in the canadian wilderness, i should be okay.
