Would you ? Its high altitide and snow/ice everywhere. All supplies on plane have gone.
Radio reports say that search teams have given up hope of finding any survivors, and you can't attempt to come down mountain till Spring when its easier to get down.

Yes definitely. I would have no qualms about eating the dead if my on survival depended on it. There's no way I would sit there and watch the bodies rot while I starved.

Read the book "Touching the Void" I'd get down that mountain or die trying.
Also, if the plane crashed and there's no supples or anything..... how do I hear the radio report about the search party giving up ?
If it's truly canibalisim or death.... The weak go first, and yes... I'd kill anything to feed my daughter and ensure her survival if she was with me.

I think the first step is to asses whether the dead will provide sufficient food to last until Spring.
If not, pre-empt any life or death lotteries in the future by quietly killing the other survivors one night, thereby ensuring your own survival until the spring.

I thought about this after watching the film, and i am one of those passengers that wouldnt do it, not through any moral highground, im the kind of person whos mind rules their stomach, and i just dont think i could swallow raw human flesh, even if it meant dying of starvation. Well Done to those of you that could.

Of course. If you really want to survive, you would take whatever means necessary. If you don't feel right eating a human, then hunt, descend the mountain, or die.

People will do things they never dreamed they'd do if they are about to die. Everyone will eat a dead person if they are starving. As Americans, we don't know that desperation but it is in everyone of us who have a will to survive.

Ah, but if your icy mountain was the boarder between two countries, and you didn't eat them; where would you bury the survivors?

If I thought that they would last us till we could climb down the mountain then sure I would. If they wouldn't, they why bother eating them?
