What would you do to survive?

[Freak]

Some friends and I had this discussion the other day.

What would you do to survive?

If you were stranded on a deserted island would you eat another person to live? Would you kill another person?

If you where playing one of the Saw games could you cause harm to yourself or another to save your life?Would you have the strength and the will to overcome anything in your way?

Then we had the big question.

Would you kill a family member or a friend to live or would you scarfice yourself for them?

I like to think that I would have the power to say, saw my foot off to save my life but in practice I don't know. As for the desert island, I'd probably not kill and eat them because I know I'd need the company.

I'm a big coward. Somebody would kill me and I'd be eaten.

I'd consider eatin' somebody just to save a trip to the kitchen....

The first to die of "natural" causes would be eaten and so on and so forth. Cant say id sacrafice myself but certainly cant say id force someone else on the chopping block though.

I would do whatever it took to survive and if it came to it I would kill in order to survive plain and simple.........nothing hard about survival........you have to push to push yourself beyond what is right and wrong in your eyes and in others and do what needs to be done.Thats never been difficult for me.

I could kill a bad guy to save a good guy or save myself. Couldn't kill a good guy to save myself. Don't even think I could choose between two people I liked if only one could survive. I could deal with self harm to save my own life, that one's easy. I have an unnaturally high pain tolerance, and would be okay with being an amputee.

But could you eat yourself?

I could eat someone if they died of natural causes or something like that.I could easily kill someone to save myself.As for the self harm thing it depends on what it is.I would sacrafice myslef before I would sacrafice a loved one.

There's a real question, and ya, I think I could eat pieces of myself. I've seen my finger bones and once saw over an inch deep into my own leg. Never took a bite, but the sight does effect different people in different ways.

I think I'd try and eat dirt and bark before I started eating the fingers on my left hand. To eat much more than that would be potentially fatal without some sort of medical expertise-or at least I would imagine so.
