A friend and i were caught on a hike without enough food once-we had two full days of travel ahead to get to aplace where we could get help. We were too inexperienced for the situation and new little about survival tactics and i cannot describe how quickly things can become desperate in the woods without food..by the end of the first day we were convinced we wouldn't make it and began to panic..we didnt sleep and in the morning took to throwing large rocks at slow moving rock pheasants to make a meal..it worked but by the time we cooked 3 there wasn't much of them left to eat..its embarrassing now how little discipline we had then..for all that i would rather cut strips off myself than eat a piece of another human..

It would have to depend on how dire the situation was.
Say if it were like the 60th day since I had food and I was an inch away from dieing.....then yes.
But I think that most like any other circumstance I would just die,
because I would be so ashamed of what I might do.

I think eventually yes. Cannibalism may seem cruel and unusual but I think If my life depended on it I would. I would only take a leg or an arm. I would not indulge myself in human meat.

i don't think anyone could honestly answer that question unless they were faced with the situation. sure, you could say what you think you would do but extreme survival situations provoke extreme behaviors. we might do things we never thought we were capable of doing or we might not actually be able to go through with the things we thought for sure we could handle doing. so untill i am faced with the deciion of eating a human or starving i cannot answer that question.

I would like to think I would not be able to bring myself to eat another human. Especially someone I know, even to survive. Having said that, I dont know the effects that extreme starvation have on the mind and body so...I guess i would try not to do it.

humans have lived in a civilized world for hundreds of century's and during that time we've learned how to cook and how to survive on eating other animals for food, although we have spoiled ourselves in a sense deep down in a subconscious part of our mind that would turn us into a 'animal' (i guess you would say) that would do anything to survive even if it means that one would have to eat a human for a source for food, even if someone would say that they wouldn't eat human, under certain conditions that person would
