first of all this is of mature content and if you are below the age of 16 please do not read on. that said,before you start thinking another gross topic and all that the above really happened! it happened to a group of people like you and me when they were stranded with no food and water except for the dead bodies of thier comrades.and they ate them so that they could survive in the harsh winter.and they did survive for nearly a month because it was only then the help arrived.what will you do in such circumstances,irrespective of your religious beliefs,irrespective of whether you are a hindu/christian/muslim/any other religion,will you do the same so as to survive? will you start questioning your own beliefs?how will you handle this,eating the dead body of your own kind and justify that?are you willing to become a cannibal?can you do that? before you comment,please look at the links and read them.for this really happened.after you do that please feel free to comment! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguayan_Air_Force_Flight_571 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106246/ http://www.danutakean.com/blog/?p=88

I believe my will to survive is strong enough that put in a position like that I would do what it took to live through it. I could not look at it like being a cannible., to me that is a way of life, I would see it as a last resort to survive. My hunting skills would certainly increase first though.:)

that is cute.but say what will happen if your religious belief prohibits you form tasting any form of meat then wold you not have to do battle with both your personal beliefs as well as your religious beliefs?

My father used to say that hunger can make a man devil and for hunger he can go to any extent, so I think how one will respond in desperation god can only know.
