If I were stuck out on a raft in the middle of the ocean and one of my ship mates died on day 65, I might have to consider it.
My memory of the Andes football team plane crash, they were very careful, and deliberate. They only ate people no one knew or was related to.

No not forget that symbolic cannibalism is a long-practiced Christian tradition. It is not taboo in all contexts for our culture.

There are those Christians who hold that the communion wafer becomes the actual flesh of Christ as it is consumed. I guess that for them the cannibalism more than symbolic. For other Christians, the wafer is only symbolic of the flesh of Christ and they participate in symbolic cannibalism.
