What would you do?

Lately I have been completely enthralled by shows such as Survivorman and Man Vs Wild. I have also read a couple books about survival after a shipwreck (The Custom of the Sea) and a plane crash (Alive: The Miracle of the Andes).

In both the shows and the books, in order to survive, people have to resort to eating things that they might not normally consider for food: insects and people (both of which are repellent to me). In The Custom of the Sea, survivors of a shipwreck draw straws to determine who will be sacrificed for the survival of the others. In Alive, they survive on the flesh of those already dead (and frozen).

So my "survey" is one question:You are in a situation where you will die unless you eat either bugs or human flesh (like the survivors in the Andes, they are already dead - no drawing straws). You can eat your choice cooked or raw.

What do you do?

PS - I am finding that the answers are running roughly 50-50, with no discernible pattern to the choices.

Hey Gaby - how's it going?

I don't know if i'd be desparate enough to drink it either...but people dying of thirst will drink their own urine - that has to be better than that!
