To raise Y2K awareness and tickle more controversial issues of survival, I would like to hear opinions on the consumption of humans in extreme survival.

Moral, legal, social, technical aspects or just a vote with 'yes' or 'no'.

All inputs are appreciated.
 
I have no moral or ethical problems with the practice. Just a health issue... cook the meat well and do not eat the brain.

Prion diseases are possible.

Well it has been said that I eat like a pig, one lady I know has a pot-belly pig whose favorite food is bacon.
I agree with Ron on this issue.

I would! But I would hesitate to eat anybody that I don't know. The reason I say this is because of diseases and whatnot. At least if I knew the person, I would have reasonable knowledge of such matters.

I would have to say that I would only deal with the large muscle groups and stay away from cutting the body up too much.

I hope I never have to actually do this!

No Way, besides- this would really denote a lack of real survival skills anyway. If your skills are really up, and you understand the spiritual aspects of Nature, food is in abundance, and you will never have to resort to this. Also- I look at survival in the next world, and guard my karma.

alas- "eat me" reply was a funny one

After analyzing this, I have decided that, if I were ever faced with this situation, I would eat the veggitarians first.
My logic:
Most animals we eat (beef, pork, and most wild game-deer, bear, water fowl, etc.) are all veggie eaters...
The meat is more tender and tastes better.

I'd do it... Vegetarian, meat eater, I don't care... I'd eat every part of the body I could... Heck I would ever roast the ears over the fire... Yummy.

In fact, after I am dead (preferably)... I don't care if someone eats me. according to my mom I came into this world as a little sh#*, so I might as well leave as one.

Ha Ha! good one Mr D. I avoid meat for the most part (karmic and health reasons) but if it came right down to it, the flesh of a former adversary probaby wouldnt bother me much! Provided it was well cooked and (preferably) Smoked.
 
What if the person had Aids or Hepatitis? Would cooking thoroughly kill all the nasty
things one could possisibly run into?
 
Quietone said it best, I think.

Throw out the internal organs (or use as bait) and cook the meat thoroughly. Wear gloves when cutting it up and you should be OK.

The first thing I thought of on seeing the title was "oh, bite me!".

Jeez, guys!

A recent archaeological find in the Arctic revealed bones of a number of women and children which carried marks of ancient knives (probably flint), as well as having been split (for the marrow, no doubt), and afterwards neatly stacked. Probably the consequence of a raid by indigenous people of some sort. The Inuit and the forest people to the south seem to have a long history of conflict. The West Coast Haida practiced ritual cannibalism, the Caribes of Central America were greatly feared in the 16th century (remember Robinson Crusoe?). Africa, ditto; literature on the slave trade relates widespread cannibalism. Our taboos notwithstanding, cannibalism was probably more common than we realize. And since we're all related to some degree...
 
Usually, where there is vegitation there is food. Since we have no food, we probably have a scarcity of vegitation. What are you going to use to cook your freinds and family?

No moral issue. But, not something I would look forward to. (pass the tobassco
