Would you eat human?

Had that discussion with my GF a while back. That movie Alive was on, the one about the Chilean rugby team. We both came to the conclusion that if they were dead and not related to us, as an absolute last resort we would eat humans. Besides, when starvation kicks in I doubt people will be so choosy.
I was going to make a really filthy joke at first.
Anyway. Yes, I'd eat human. I come from a state where one of our not-so-secret heroes is Alferd Packer, the cannibal. "The flesh of man is the sweetest meat."

Exactly. Every time I see a post like this, I think of that disease. It has to do with prions or something. Basically, in most situations, members of the same species should not be eating each other. This, while not the main rationale, is one reason why I would not eat human meat unless my life depended on it.Hashime said:
I would if I had to. Like if I was stranded somewhere.
Meat is meat doesn't matter where it came from.

Yes, all meat is equal.
Although I frankly doubt that your average human would taste that well or have good quality meat, for that matter. There's a reason most meat you eat has been grown for the sole reason of killing it for food. Right diet, right drugs and vitamins, right lifestyle and so on.
I have no moral problem with cannibalism. I can see why one might see it as a problem if it involves murder as a way of getting said human meat, but it doesn't have to. There are fresh corpses, for one thing. There are people who would willingly sacrifice themselves - I mean, that guy in Germany did find a volunteer.
Of course, considering that humans probably would taste like shit due to various life choices and wouldn't have much in terms of good quality meat (seriously. Compare human anatomy with, say, cow anatomy. Most good meat comes off the, well, butt and the thighs. Some ribs, too. And in case of humans, the average not overly built human specimen would probably only have sufficient muscle mass for a good steak on their thighs and ass.)
Overall, it just isn't worth it. I'm all for defiling corpses and shit (not in necro way, I just find the whole craze we have over death and burial idiotic. Person is dead, the body is nothing but fertilizer.) but there's little reason in cannibalism aside from novelty or, you know, the generic scenario of surviving while lost out in the sea with no food except for some random dude.
If I had a legal way of tasting it, I'd give it a taste the same way I'd taste any other exotic food. I'd gladly eat some raw seal meat, for example, just to know what it's like. I've tried a few exotic things before, like frogs and some insects.
Eating it obviously wouldn't bother me, although I'd probably stick with chicken because it would inevitable taste the same anyways. All meat is the same, and no matter how we live we end up as food for something, the circle of life and shit.

if we were dying on a mountain and then he had a heart attack and died, i would assume he would want us to eat him so we could survive what he did not, cause thats how i feel
you mean that's not what people normally do... uh... yeah that sounds... oh, illegal...
in all actuality, I'd eat human if it was necessary to survive; preferably cooked.
