If I were legitimately starving and somebody was already dead...sure. I mean, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Most cannibals say people taste a lot like pork--humans are generally called "long pig" or something like that which shows that their flesh is rather porcine.
But I'd definitely scavenge for other food first. Roots, twigs, bark, stuff like that. It's rare to get lost someplace with absolutely no food whatsoever. I mean, even ice has like, ice fleas living in it, and bugs live most places in the world...so...yeah, I would if I totally had to.
And people who are all, "I don't want to see the animal, just the meat,"--you are HYPOCRITES!!!! If you're not willing to kill your food, you shouldn't be eating meat. Meat starts as ANIMALS. If you don't have the killer instinct, you don't deserve to eat meat at all. Be vegetarians.

Yes I would. It might be kinda squeamish at the time, but you've got to do what you've got to do in order to survive. I wouldn't have a problem morally with cannibalism.
If you've seen the movie "Alive", based on a plane crash in the Andes and the survivors' subsequent cannibalism, you know this was the biggest question they were asking each other. They all had a quasi-religious experience with each other, promising the use of their individual bodies if they died -- in order to give life to the others. Because of eating each other, 16 people survived.

Cannibalsim is for Cannibals. If you are not one now, you might be by the time you ARE rescued, but hopefully NOT!!!

I don't think I could bare to try. I don't know, it's just wrong.
But, you never no what your mind drive you to do in a desperate situation.
...But, yeah, still no.
I don't think I'd want to be rescued after eating someone. I don't think I could live with it. Nope. No. No-way. I'd develop physcological problems. ;p
(Death for me, haha.)

I would do it just for the sake of, doing it. Actually I already LIKE the taste of human flesh so having to eat it to survive would be no problem as I have already done it for purely psychological impact.

I don't think I could cut someone up and cook them or worse eat then raw. Unless there was someone else with me who would do it for me then maybe I could eat it. But I really can't magine doing such a thing. Maybe starving is better. Damn thats a hard Q.

absolutely not under any circumstances, I would starve to death before I would do that. even if a companion dies, I would not cannibalize, ever.

Depends on the people I was with and how they died.
Even if they were evil people I would not kill them, only eat what was left after they had starved, unless of course they had committed rape or similar, then they would have been provided for my survival and their death would benefit the world.

Only if I were the food. You know. Fillet of Priest? I could not eat someone else but I would gladly feed them.

No, never..also our bodies would reject this behaviour...just like eating dogs/rats we are so conditioned NOT to consume these items...our brains would not tolerate this behaviour.
