Question:

Is it OK to resort to cannibalism in an emergency ?


Answers:
So long as you have a nice Chianti to wash it down with...

I don't think so but. . . If it was, I think I wouldn't do it. . . I bet people taste really weird. . .

pretty odd question, but yes, its alright nutritionally. Morally is another question.

You cant eat the brain though, there is a disease that 10% of people contract from eating the brain. i believe its like mad cow.

Sure if you can live with yourself after wards.

I don't believe so. It's not ok morally.

Yes but it can be dangerous as well. They're many different diseases you can get from cannibalism. There is a disease you can get from eating the brain. It causes you to shake, and become mentally disturbed.

NOWAY because there is always other things to eat that grow natural like on trees or in a vegetable garden and plus i do not think human would taste good

Even if it's not an emergency, you can go ahead and declare one and eat somebody. It's a good excuse to eat people uninhibitedly.

in order to sustain life, I believe it is ethical and moral to ingest deceased humans. It would never be right to kill humans for the purpose of eating them, no matter how great the need for food. For me it would be important not to unecessarily mutilate the bodies and to have great respect for them. See the Donner Party.

Absolutly Not that is terrible you even ask that, what made you want to ask that anyway? You wanna eat someone?

I would think not. Unless it is an unusual circumstance...... But only if u can live with urself afterwards.

Of course it is...in WW2 the concentration camp inmates ate there own flesh and I am not sure of its name but there is a book about a Brazilian soccer/football team who ate human flesh when they were marooned on a mountain top in the Andes after their plane crashed..it was the only thing that saved them.

I don't think its ok to kill someone so you can live, especailly if they havent done anything wrong. Sooo, no, not ok.

i dont fancy eating people, so even in an emergency, i would probably not resort to that. but thats me. depends on the emergency and the people i suppose. what sort of emergency??

I guess so but i'm actually a vegetarian although I do like the taste of meat I would imagine that human meat would be quite disgusting, Also if it was used to eat in an "emergency" it would be eaten raw (correct me if im wrong) and we all know how any raw meat can be dangerous to your health. Although I certantly could not suggest it, Hey what do you do in a time of need! But please don't tell me you're planning on joining the LOST team. lol Best Wishes xx Miki

There have been times where cannibalism has been accepted as a matter of survival. One case comes to mind:

Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571. In Oct. 1972 this flight crashed in the Andes. The Uruguayan Rugby team and flight crew were aboard this fateful flight.

There were a total of 45 people on this flight. 19 people survived and were rescued in Dec. 1972. When faced with the real possibility of their own death, they turned to cannibalism to survive.

You can find more information about these events here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/uruguayan_a...

Are you crazy? NOWAY

People. Are not. Meant. To eat. Other people.

Of course. Your first responsibility in life is to keep yourself alive.

meat is meat let the vegetarians die
