If you were stranded on a desert island with another person and that person died, could you eat them? It could be a friend, relative, spouse or stranger.
Probably not if their death was caused by falling into a volcano.
No
However that is my post breakfast sated answer. Who knows how demented I might become after months or years on the island.
I’d rather eat Johnson, sir.
Is there barbecue sauce available?
I don’t like my meat well done either.
Congrats! You’ve made result #4 on Google by misspelling hypothetical. 
Before they died, were you properly introduced?

I asked a serious question and yes hypothetical was misspelled it was a typo.
I probably wouldn’t, but would there be enough food available on the island without resorting to eating a dead person?
I left the typo, but added info about the thread topic, in the thread title.
silvermist, please don’t use content-free thread titles like “hypothetical question” [however you might spell it] – indicate what the thread is about.
Thanks,

Yes, with no qualms. Under those circumstances, meat is meat
Theoretically, although I’m honest enough to admit that it would be a lot harder in reality than sitting here behind a keyboard munching popcorn before dinner.
By which I mean, physically, as well as emotionally. I’ve never butchered anything larger than a chicken, and I’m not very good at that. I know nothing about field dressing. I don’t know how to tell if the meat is safe for consumption if it doesn’t have a Sell-By date.
Not if it meant I would starve anyway once they were eaten. I don’t think I would anyway. Because I’d have floated them out into the ocean before I got that hungry. So that I wouldn’t.
When I was quite young I read the first book about the Andes flight disaster- plane crash survivors who survived largely because they ate the bodies of some of those who died in the crash.
I think if a person gets desperate enough, rules of civilization go out the window. I am sure that if I died on that desert island and the survival of the people with me depended on eating me, I’d want that for them. (Although not for me…heh.)
certainly not raw.
If you’re hungry enough, you will eat anything.
