Emjay Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 well, I wouldn't eat anything cold, I won't eat anything raw, I would die next to my dead friend. Sides- if I were insane, I wouldn't know what I'm doing- or that's how it feels, since I'm still sane and I haven't ate a person before, that is yucky- I won't even eat CARROTS cold just fruit and desserts, I don't eat salid, so don't aks "what about salid" any wayz NO NO NO NO! If you live through that you will know for the rest of your life that you ate a friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genkai Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Seeing as I am too lazy to read this whole thread, I will say that, in my opinion, it's okay to eat another human as long as you don't murder them(well, at least not for the sole purpose of eating them....^o^)...yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui Generis Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Harry [/i] [B]Why would it be wrong if they don't consent though?? You're only doing it to survive, there's no hatred or malice. [/B][/QUOTE] Good point... But then it'd only be murder. Not a hate murder. Killng someone is still ending their life even if they were gonna die anyways. Thats my opinion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Honestly, as sick as this may sound, I could only eat a person if he/she was cooked. I'd probably just faint if I ate a person raw. If I ate a cooked human leg, I could probably imagine that it's something else. However, if I were to be in the worst condition of the lost people, I would gladly give my body in an extreme emergency. At least I would die giving others a chance to live.

Genkai Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Mitch asked whether we wqould be comfortable with our lips touching the skin of a dead friend.. my response: (a) Skin? Why would you eat the skin with all that good meat? Skin is dirrrrrty! (b) who said anything about eating a friend? I wouoldn't eat a friend unless it was... actually, I wouldn't... I don't tink.. I would rather die than eat one of my good friends.......but I dunno how I'd feel if I was starving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 It's subjective whether cannibalism is immoral or not in the first place. Certain societies have absolutely no problem with eating human flesh. [i]So[/i], I wouldn't feel that resorting to cannibalism is wrong in the situation Harry described. I suppose that morals go out the window when one's most basic instincts replace the values society has placed upon them. I mean, it would be almost like reverting back to infancy.... I mean, resorting to desperate behavior is a part of survival instinct and it's not always controllable. Nonetheless, I couldn't eat anyone that I know. If I had a pet chicken or something, I wouldn't be able to eat that--let alone a person, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyLyn Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I could not do it personally. Eating a human, period, regardless of whether they are my friend or not, regardless of whether it's considered "suicide" (*cough*whatever*cough*), regardless of all those flipping "What ifs", is just not a possibility for me. But then, I've never been on the verge of a combination of near-death and insanity. [spoiler]BTW, suicide is considered taking one's own life. If you take your own life indirectly--the bullet for another incident--then that is failing to fulfill the definition. Feel free to scream nice and loud and long about how wrong my opinion is, since it isn't yours. :rolleyes: Chocolate.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 AHHH..... that just reminds me of the Donner party... I am scared to go to the mountains because of them... But eatting another human is just wrong alive or dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegeta rocker Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 mmmm well first off before we get to the morality lets focus on the agenda if the reason for eating them is survival then whats the big deal? i wouldn't do it personally but hey who knows what you will do when you are hungry enough. But if it's to gain spiritual power like some cultures believe then that is diffrent. That is morally wrong to us, but not to them. And consent....EAT 'EM ALL AND LET GOD SORT 'EM OUT! So is it morally wrong to eat your cousin...only in some states....LMAO alright seriously, i don't see anything morally wrong with eating someone.....certain parts i guess. Like in the movie "Alive".

Domon Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Gee you recover quickly, anyways, i would rather die from hunger than eat a friend, plus eating a human is just ****ing sick!!! I mean come on that is just nasty! Sure that used to happen a lot in other countries but thats why you do something called HUNTING! There is bound to be animals running around the desert, like snakes, lizards etc. Also you could dig for water, it isn't that hard to find. I'm sorry but cannibilism is just sick. OOC: Pardon my language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really not as simple as it sounds, and if digging for water was that simple, don't you think they'd already have made huge water holes everywhere? That would only make sense.

Shy Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Harry [/i] [B]What if it wasn't a friend? If it isn't a friend does it make it a little less horrifying? [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]Well, I'm sure James wouldn't hesitate to eat [i]you[/i]. No, I wouldn't eat someone else, regardless of whether or not they were alive. There have been a few known tribes throughout the world that engaged in cannibalism of the dead, I was just watching something about it on the History Channel. Some farmers feed their cattle the body parts of other cows, which is what caused "Mad Cow Disease." A very similar illness happens to humans who cannibalize, so there are medical reasons for not doing it. The entire subject of cannibalism is fascinating, or maybe I'm just really weird... -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sere Tuscumbia Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Ew, ew, ew, ew! *dies* Just think of the Donner party! Have you read the freaking [I]descriptions[/I] of the Donner party?! If you haven't, I suggest you do. I'm sure it'll change your mind about this. Ew . . . ew . . . ew . . . bringing back bad, evil memories of that stupid nasty Donner party thing. [I][B]Ew.[/I][/B] In my opinion, cannibalism is - and always will be - wrong, no matter which way you try to sugar it up. I'm sorry, but the fact that one dude preferred eating human brains and hearts to the legs of a horse because the horse legs were too chewy and the human brain and hearts were soft is just [I]sick[/I]. I'd never do that. [I][B]Never.[/I][/B] --Sere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cloricus Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 [color=teal]In that situation firstly you would try and find your own food, depending on the circumstances you may try to find your own way out of the desert or you would wait. We did a training exercise at the end of last year with these circumstances. This is what nearly [i][b]all[/b][/i] of you would do no matter what you think right now. Morals go out the window. If you are an ******* who doesn't care about any one but yourself you [i]will[/i] kill one of the others and eat them. If you value your friends the group would wait until one died, then eat him or her. (This is under the condition that it has been about a week to two and a half weeks since you have eaten. By that stage nearly every one of your values is replaced by instincts, though your moral values return once you come safely back to civilisation.) [/color] So really it?s not your choice. The only choice you have in the matter is to die first or live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Macaiodh Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 [color=darkblue]Harry, would you be able to eat someone without getting sick? You haven't really told us what you think, other than you don't think it's immoral. What about the grossness factor? I personally would eat human flesh if necessary but I don't know if I could swallow without gagging, or keep it down.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 The Catholics (is it the Catholics? If not, please correct me) eat the body and drink the blood of Christ... why aren't they beaten with anti-cannabalism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Chicken Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Amen brother! It all depends on who are you, where you are, what the circumstances are, and also, if you are Hannibal Lecter or not. I see no problem with it, we are animals after all, and other animals eat animals of the same species all the time, so why can't we? So there are morals, but Gob gave us a brain so we could over look morals, didnt he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cloricus Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 TN I asked a priest that once, (bolt for those who know him) and he dribbled off in to some thing about "that was the Jews, not us" or some crap like that. Any human meat cooked tastes very bland. Just for some extra info. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] This may be the first time and probably last time I ever say this but thanks TN for making my day, I really needed that laugh right about now. :laugh: As for the whole cannibalism issue, I'd probably try to look for some food first. However if there was no food avaiable and the ony way to survive was to eat my friends no thank you I'll pass. I honestly wouldn't be able to live with myself for eating a friend of mine, I just think that would be too tramatic and severly wrong. I certainly wouldn't want them to eat me. Also since there wouldn't be any chance for survival I think, most likely I'd do mother nature a favor and jump in the water surronding the island and end my life. Better then dying a death of starvation which is slow and painful. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
