If you were stranded on an island would you eat someone?

[Sentinel X]

If you were stranded on a deserted island via plane crash...and you had NO food whatsoever...would you eat someone else?

And if you would, after you ran out of dead 'meat' would you kill someone and eat them?

This is a serious question, I NEED to know

 

[Rando]

i would wait as long as humanly possible.

it takes the body 61 days to fully shut down, you know.

 

[Apollo]

No, i wouldn't.. i'd go fishing..

 

[Sentinel X]

No, i wouldn't.. i'd go fishing..

Hypothertically speaking: This island has NO food whatsoever. That means no fish, no edible fruits or plants...nothing but human meat

 

[Yerzrinot]

There's nothing morally wrong with cannibalism as long as you only eat ugly people.

 

[Sentinel X]

Personally, I ALWAYS say no whenever someone asks me this random question but I think its really hard to know what you'd do unless you were actually in the situation.
But I'm pretty positive I'd rather starve to death...or perhaps just drown myself in the water.

Why

 

[JLBats]

I know that as much of a liberal humanist as I may seem, when things got truly, truly horrific, when the circumstances got dire enough, a moment would come where I could no longer indulge my high minded ideals and morals, and then I would become truly brutal in the interests of my own survival or the survival of the people I love.

So if I sacrifice my ethics and eat my buddy, I'll just die 61 days later anyway? Or are there more humans being grown to eat later?

 

[Sentinel X]

Why

Because I am stranded on an island and need to know what I should do. Thankfully I have my laptop, charger, and internet service though

Hmmm...in this hypothetical situation there are always human beings ....just no food

You know you can order pizzas online now.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Why

He ran out of groceries and has his neighbor locked in the basement. Didn't you see Silence of the Lambs?

Then use Google Earth to find the island you're on, and email the co-ordinates to someone for help.

 

[Abstract]

My friends and I were talking about this. Kinda freaked me out a little when they both admitted they'd try it.

I really feel strongly against it though, I just dont think I could ever bring myself to do it.

But if I got hungry enough, desperate enough, who knows, maybe in the end our animal instincts to eat and survive win out over whatever moral objections we have.

Yeah, Im not really into putting my credit card number online, even if it is pizza hut.

NEVER!!...me and Wilson are very happy here, thank-you very much!

As you starve your body begins to shut down certain parts of your brain. If you were without food long enough you wouldn't have any moral struggle about cannibalism.

Order a blow up doll body for Wilson and you're set for life.

True.
Hoping I'm never in a situation to find out for myself. Especially with my friends who may just eat me first

 

[Immortalfire]

NEVER!!...me and Wilson are very happy here, thank-you very much!

Well, at least you'll have someone to eat.

 

[CashforStash]

I would count to 60 days then i'd eat someone, hey, better eat somebody then suicide.

 

[Sentinel X]

Indeed.

Well, at least you'll have someone to eat.

How dare you, Wilson is very sensitive

He so cute, tomorrow is his birthday!

I think you might have a VERY strong impulse, however I think you are still able to control yourself...at least I'd hope so.

 

[Nirvana]

No, not because "it's gross", mostly because of the fact of part-taking in possible murder and cannibalism. Morally I couldn't do it.

 

[Speedball]

Yes I would.
Wait... we're talking about cannibalism?! Then I would not...

 

[Mr. Biggles]

It's meat. No different than an animal; it's meat.

 

[The Apocalypse]

No, I'd go looking for a hatch instead.
