Well never me. Actually it's more interesting this way. Lol kidding. Nevertheless, I wouldn't eat a person. If I'm concerned about my 'survival instincts' I'd probably shut myself in a cave so I couldn't get to that person. Or whatever. Even as a mother or wife I couldn't do that.
don’t say that, I’m sure you have something t live for otherwise you wouldn’t be living now. I always think that. Like when my mates go on about “if someone went to rape me I’d hit them” I’m thinking, I don’t know if I would, I would be scared and stuff and I don’t know how I would react, you cannot tell before hand. However, I do think that my instinct for survival would overcome the fact I don’t wanna eat a human. hahaha,, you crack me up sometimes. but why?? The guy is already dead and if you don’t eat him, you will die to. It is not as if you have killed the guy to eat him. to be honest with y, I wouldn’t think about seeing my family again as my first priority. I would just think about, I don’t want to die; I have a life ahead of me, unlike the dead guy in front of me. Ok, I’d be glad to see them afterwards but I don’t think they would really be persuading my decision.
I don't think I'd like to be eaten, even though I'd be dead. If the person knew he was going to die, and he insisted that I eat him afterwards to keep myself alive, then I probably would. However, I wouldnt just start gnawing on his arm, if I was able to I'd try to keep the damage to his body minimal, so no face, arms, legs or anything like that. I'd try to eat only as much as I absolutely needed to survive, so probably only the belly fat, because it has the maximum energy value, and not damage the skin too much so it could be put back into place and look normal if the body is recovered. I doubt I'd start eating the meat though, its just too much alive. Fat is a bit different. And only if I got permission. Think city Slickers II . Also if there wasn't much chance of me surviving, (ie: eating him would only keep me alive a few more days) then I'd forego it. (I think I may have put way too much thought into that )
Ok to clarify I would let people eat me to save themselves, but I wouln't be terribly happy about it.
This is a paradoxical statement. You wouldn't feel anything after being dead. Therefore not "liking" to be eaten is a qualm that hasn't got much sense. Maybe for the first day that would be the case. But what about the other days? I think you would be forced to revisit the body again. Some people would even gnaw its bones for the bone marrow. Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw!
Because there have been a fair few times when we have left threads and before we know it we log on to a complete flame war which devideds friends and has members insulting one another. Plus whats the point in opening a thread for a debate and swaying onto other topics. We aren't saying stop all we're really asking is please consider everyone elses opinion and bare in mind we do all share different views so it helps to respect the others view on things. ~Raven.
Very hard to say. It would depend on many things. I would not eat a child. I would not eat flesh from the face. I would rather not cut and cook the meat. It also depends on other available food sources. If we are in the bush, I would never eat human flesh; I know where to find food. If we're in a foreign land, then it would probably be my last resort; probably though. I feel sick in the stomach as I admit this.
As would I. However if your in a situation were the only source of food is dead humans, I would have my knife and folk on the ready. My survival means everything to me and I certainly am not going to die of stavation when i need not. Now if im the dead dude, I hope whomever feast upon my flesh gets food poisoning.
If anyone ate me they would probably die anyway from all the salt that's running around my body. So they would probably be better off starving. But really, this thread is making me ill.
Another thing (and sorry about the double post here) even if we eat the body that used to belong to your best friend, what are you going to do afterwards? I mean, there's no rescue in sight and well, I'd probably run for help anyways so I eat my dead friend. Which yum, tasty (not) and then what? I sit around and twiddle my thumbs? I would probably die anyways and.... ahem. I'm going now!
Well you could be like this doctor trapped on a desert island in an early Stephen king short story, and start eating your own limbs. That worked really well for him, until he had to start on hands after going insane.
Or you could use the strength you gather from filling your belly and chop enough of the dead up to carry and head off in search of help or eventually find another source of food. Thats pretty much what i would do. While you eat and if necessary drink blood you have strength. And thus who knows you just may be lucky enough to find help or stay alive long enough for help to find you.
Or maybe just not leave the comfort of my living room. new rule. RULE 238: Never go off to wilderness where the possiblity of starving or eating your dead best friend are increased.
Ah, but what if you get locked in your living room with a friend, and have no way to escape? Didn't think of that did you?
