A Question Regarding Cannibalism And Desperation

Cannibalism is one of the few remaining taboos that go unchallenged in society. The general consensus is that the act is utterly barbaric, what sort of animal does one have to be to kill and eat their fellow human beings? Most of the time when people think of cannibalism, they think of deranged psychopaths like Jeffrey Dahmer or Ed Gein. Others think of tragic events like the Donner Party or the Andes plane crash.

I have a thought.

Imagine you are part of a group of people stranded out in the wilderness during a very bad winter.

You have no food supplies left, the weather is so bad that separating from the group for any reason is certain death.

You and all the others are huddled around the campfire, hungry, cold, and desperate. 

Suddenly, you notice that two members of the group haven't showed up, you mention this to the man next to you, he goes into their tents to check on them.

After a while, he comes back and announces that one of the missing people has died from exposure and the other has committed suicide.

He then states what everyone was afraid of. "We will have to eat their bodies or starve."

What would you do in that situation? 

I thought it'd make for a good discussion.
