Okay... So my friend and I were talking the other night and the subject of eating people came up...

Yes, eating people. Humans. Cannibalism.

We got discussing it, and both of us are slightly curious as to what human tastes like, although too disgusted by the notion to ever eat someone. But then the question of necessity came up.

If you were stranded somewhere without food, and your only companion died of natural causes, would you eat them?

Would it be morally wrong by biblical standards?

Does the bible say anything about "thou shalt not eat thy brotheren"?

What if before their passing, the dying companion granted you permission to eat them?

If they didn't, I would probably respect their wishes...

Haha I have no idea. It just got me thinking.

If it were life or death, I absolutely think I could eat someone (provided they were already dead). Is this an unpopular opinion?

(To clarify: I am in no way hoping this scenario comes to pass in my lifetime haha.)

Nautilus, I've heard of that. But were they Christians?? Morally, were they bothered?

And yes, absolutely. I would be 100% okay with someone using my body for nourishment (provided I was already dead). I've already told my friends that if they're curious as to what human flesh tastes like, they can eat me. I have no problem with it as I'll be chillin in Heaven with my Daddy-God.

Is this something you frown upon? Your body being eaten after death? You're either buried and/or cremated anyways... What a waste.

For survival purposes, yes I would eat or be eaten, though I don't condone murder to survive.

I mean if I had been on that airplane and eating the dead was the only way to survive...well so be it. And since the andes event happened in the 70's im not terribly aware of the religious convictions of any passengers.

Chocolate covered humans, that's disturbing. Besides, the chocolate would be there to eat.

I would starve and pray Jesus please hurry up and take me home already!

Yea I would eat another to survive, if he/she did not give me permission or didn't want me to do it, I still may do it. I have a family and I imagine they would want me to do what I could to survive (without hurting someone else of course)

Wow. No, I wouldn't. I've seen Book of Eli. I know what eating people does to one physically, mentally and probably, spiritually. And while it was fiction, it didn't look pretty.

I've thought about this kind of stuff before. Not about eating people, but what if i couldn't get food in time. I'm hypoglycemic, when my blood sugar starts dropping and i don't eat it would probably be only a matter of hours before i'd start either have seizures of just slip into a coma and eventually die. More than likely i wouldn't even make it to the point of having to make that decision to eat a person or not.
If by some miracle i did, i wouldn't do it and i wouldn't have to suffer long.

Has anyone seen Life of Pi? I absolutely hate that movie,...if you get the message at the end, you'll see that it was all about Cannibalism and the role it played in that situation.

Honestly, the thought of eating another human, or another human eating me turns my stomach and makes me kinda sick. I'd never do that,..I'd die.

That's the whole point. Nobody knows what's the real story. It could be true that he talks nonsense and that the tiger-story was the real story. It's up to you! That's the great point of Life of Pi! ^^

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "eat me!".

Reminds me of a joke too...

A salesman breaks down on a country road and walks to a nearby farmhouse. Walking up the drive he's met by a 3 legged pig. The farmer and his family invite him in, and he asks about the pig. "Lemme tell you about that pig, little Johnny fell in the pool one day and that pig dragged him out and saved him from drowning!" the farmer says. But that doesn't explain the 3 legs the salesman replies. "Well, one night the house caught on fire and that pig woke us up and got us out of the house!" the farmer goes on. But still, that doesn't explain the 3 legs the salesman says. "And then one night a robber broke in and was going to clean us out but that pig jumped him and pinned him down till the cops came!" the farmer continues explaining. But, the salesman protests, that still doesn't explain the leg! "Well gosh mister", the farmer finally explains, "you wouldn't eat an animal like that all at one time would you?"

Yup. Creepy and disgusting!

Every cannibal I have seen interviewed said it that people tasted like ham, perhaps this is a reason why pork is considered an unclean meat in the Bible? Idk.
