C'mon Pah - when do we get to the tough questions?

Mmmm, mmmmm, good!
I don't think I'd be able to kill someone though...I'd only do it if the person were already dead.
Then again, I've never been that hungry...*sound of a blade being sharpened against a rock*

There you go again, Druidus--acting like you know everything. Why, I ingested prions just yesterday and I must say it was a fabulous experience!

This is one of those questions that I can't answer unless I'm in that situation. But I probably would if desparate enough.
If anyone says "no", they are wrong. You get in a position where you need it to survive, your ability to reason is gone, you are in survival mode. One thing I can say is that I would eat human meat only if it were in this situation:
1) There was absolutely nothing else to live of of.
2) The person was already dead.
3) If there were no other option I would eat my own flesh.
4) If I exhausted that option, I would not kill another, I would kill myself.

If i remeber correctly in the more well known stories of cannibalism not everyone part took in eating. So I am quite certian there are people who would say no and hold to it. I on the other hand am a meat eater and a surviver. As for the illness from eating human flesh, I was with the understanding that it had a whole lot to do with eating uncooked brain and spinal fluids... now that I am fairly sure I could go without anyway.
There are some members of tribes in New Guinea, I believed it was, who got a rare Mad Cow-like illness from eating brains.
I'm a vegetarian, so I'd like to think I wouldn't eat a human. I have never been in that situation, though. I think I would probably end up starving.
I believe I would probably eat an animal if I were starving, though.
Edited to add: now that I think of it, this is totally illogical. My vegetarianism has nothing to do with being opposed to the eating of meat in and of itself. So, perhaps I would do it.

I've often wondered what human tastes like.
I would also avoid brain and spinal areas as they are the source of all BSE/CJD type diseases. However you can get nice cuts from the legs and arms that I would think be fine. (I had a roomie that was a butcher)
I have a firend that wanted to be canabalized uppon his death. He wanted to be roasted or make into a nice stew and eaten by his firends. He liked the idea of his death being used to fuel his friends lives and in a way becoming one with them. Also he loved the macabre aspect of it and wondering who would actually do it.

Amazingly enough, I have thought about the same thing for an animal like a tiger or lion. I always ran into a dilemma of me dying prematurely, or getting the animal sick from whatever I die from.painted wolf said:I've often wondered what human tastes like.

What if your entres was HIV positive or had full blown AIDS? It might not be a bad idea to tell people you had that if you were lost in the mountains with them.
