Check it out. It's a good movie.
Will do.
Check out these pieces of history, what would you have done?
It's still a "no more food" situation, just without the apocalyptic event.

To answer the question I would not succumb to cannibalism for as long as I could, I would honestly be too weighed down by my own morals to commit such an act, even if it meant my own survival. I'd do whatever else I could to potentially survive if possible, but if it resulted in greatly increasing my chances then maybe, if it only delayed the inevitable then no.

I'm fairly sure that any sane person thinks like that, but when push comes to show they have all let their instinct for survival take over. I don't think anyone in that airplane crash went "Hot diggity, lets eat!"

So.... who here has seen the movie Dumplings from the South Korean 3-part feature 3 Extremes?

I haven't seen Soylent Green but I'm going to assume it's a pretty similar concept.

Soylent Green is more like a film noir detective story, really.

Of course they didn't, they weren't savages.

Yep, I remember them regenerative dumplings, but I recall it being Chinese not South Korean. The other two are South Korean & Japanese.

Just about (but Dumplings would be more similar). People being fed a mysterious food with a secret ingredient to survive, it's a good movie.

Right you are. I only remembered that Park Chan-wook was one of the directors. It looks like the one who made Dumplings was, indeed, Chinese.

I'd say morals are highest. I have no problem eating meat - I prefer eating freerange healthy s*** but I'm poor and sometimes have to make do with nasty battery farmed crap. However, people are people. They have emotions, they can laugh, they're like me. Yea sure alot of people are starving, but I'm pretty sure there's enough food in the world as is, we don't need to resort to eating people.
I'm not saying we kill people in order to eat them. As I was talking about organ donors, you can use their bodies when they're already dead. If you can't work with people's bodies because they had fulfilling lives, then should allow organ transplants? And if it's bad to destroy their bodies just out of respect, shouldn't we ban cremation?

Cremation is a tad bit more respectful than ripping apart their flesh to eat them.

I think it depends on what the person in question deems respectful. Considering that most people don't enjoy the thought of being eaten, it would in general indeed be more respectful to burn them. But someone that might have some belief about the circle of life might argue that it's important to use all resources life has given us and thus presents his body as a feast after death, whereas burning it would be wasteful destruction. Or whatevz.

I have yet to meet someone who thinks eating a fellow human being like a wild animal is more respectful than cremation.

Except Tsuyu.
And Dark Drakan.
And Queen.
And Jeffrey Dahmer.
And Gikoku.
And--

... Okay yeah I see your point.

Still gross though.

But then how will I absorb their power?


Do what I do, eat their souls. Dovahkiin style.

Don't worry, mate, I'm not defending cannibalism unless it's an extremely extreme (that's, like, extreme) situation. Just trying to question my own standpoint in this matter by asking you guys questions, in order to feel more correct about having the standpoint I have.

Yea but it's different. I wouldn't mind being cremated, I'm an organ doner, but I don't wanna be served on a plate. Fair enough in certain instances I wouldn't mind being eaten, if already dead and it allowed somebody else to survive - but I stand by my view that countries where famine is an issue needn't resort to cannibalism. I'm sure we can produce enough food without having to resort to such drastic measures
