the CANNIBAL'S quandary

You are in a plane crash in the Andes Mountains, not unlike those people from the movie Alive (or, I suppose, like the 1972 Uruguyan rugby team who experienced this situation in reality). As such, you will be forced to consume the human flesh of the people who died on impact; this would be a terrible experience, but it is the only way for you to survive. Fortunately, you did not know any of the victims personally.


Would you rather eat a dead baby, or would you rather eat a dead elderly person? Would gender play a role in the selection process? And how much would it bother you if this meat turned out to be delicious?
