Cannibalism for survival is one of the greatest examples of man’s instinctual drive to stay alive.
What a horrible fate to be in the cold with no escape and no food.
I forget what movie it was, and forgive me if I am not 100% accurate about this but it’s vague memory, but I remember watching 3 guys stuck at sea and they were drawing straws. I think at first you got the impression that the guy who seemingly won would get something good but he was actually the one that had to kill himself and the others were going to eat him to survive. This article made me think of that. It made me wonder was the cannibalism happening after men already died or were they killed and eaten. Grimm times.

The case that often leads folks to learn about it, ironically was one where the rules weren't followed, and rather than drawing straws they decided to finish off someone in a (semi?)comatose state.
