If you were stranded on an island with no hope of rescue, and you used up your food supply, would you eat other people? Friends last? or ever?

  1. Heck No!!! Wait only if I was really hungry and they were sick or something. But I would try to survive on my surroundings, even though I was never a boyscout Im sure I could survive, maybe, if I didnt get hurt or anything

  2. I so would. I know that that is morbid but hey if I was starving and had ran out of food then I have to take what I can gat. I woud not eat my friends first though because that is a bad strategy. If you eat your friends first then all your enemies would gain up on you. They would eat you. Then you turn all your friends against each other and once they have killed each other then you can gather their meat up.

  3. If they were sick and you ate them would become sick too?? I think I'd rather just have someone kill/eat me, not that there would be much meat but if it came down to it a little is better than none. That way I wouldn't have to eat anyone or starve to death, then I could go to heaven!

  4. So I have thought about it and have decided that I would not know what I would do until I was actually put into that situtation. I have never know what it is like to be so hungry that you would eat another person. I am sure that after a while of not eating you would go mad with hunger and would end up killing your friends out of the maddness of hunger. So either way you would eat them it is just the time factor on whether you would eat them before you became mad or after you became mad. It also depends on the will of the person and what the person is used to eatting. Sure if the person is use to eatting salad and not alot of meat then they could last a long time but what if the person is use to eatting alot of meat. Would that make them snap quicker? I guess with different people comes different mental and physical strengths.

  5. I sincerly hope that I am never put into the position where my survival depends on whether or not I'm willing to snack on my old pal Bob. I think i would probably eat tree bark before I would eat another human being. IF I absolutely had to eat someone though it would definitely not be my friends first. If I had to take that step into insanity I certainly wouldn't want to take it with someone that I wasn't willing to spend a lot of time with.

  6. I don't think I could eat my friends even if I was hungry enough because fist of all that is utterly repulsive sounding and then if I survived I would have to live the rest of my life knowing that the only reason I was alive was because I ate my friend, besides what would you tell their parents?

  7. Jae made a good point. What if you did survive what would you tell your friends parents? Would you lie to them and pretend like you never ate their children? Or would you straight up be like hey me and your son/daughter were stranded on an island and I ate them to survive. Also I wonder if you would be prosecuted for murder. I guess you could plead insanity and most likely would not be charged. It would be a very difficult decision with several consiquences that followed it.
