RedLion:
It's not like cannibalism is unprecedented in species, so it's scientifically justifiable. Morally, Ethically, on the other hand...it's a harder quandary. If you are stuck in a place where the only solution is to eat another human, or just to lob off a piece of flesh without killing them, why should it be the other person? Why shouldn't it be you who is sacrificed for the lives of others? What makes your life more worthy than the other person, whom you would have to harm or kill to eat?

That being said, I'd eat a strip of flesh or muscle if it was the last thing available and was offered to me. I couldn't actively kill another person to eat them, though.

Scandanavian War Machine:
i saw four slugs all eating another slug the other day. it was a little disturbing because it seemed like he might have still been alive while they were tearing him apart. not to mention that within a small radius of the carnage there were more slugs who were obviously on their way to the feast as fast as they could.

anyway, it was really weird and i didn't know slugs did that.

Oh and this comment of your brings up another point I forgot to mention before. I realize the point of this thread is to assume some hypothetical situation where eating another person is your only option in order to ask a question about morality, but I do want to make sure people grasp just how unlikely such a situation is. Stranded in a desert isn't one such situation. I mean, even if you were stranded on a desert island or something, you are going to die of thirst long before you die of starvation.

Meanwhile, real-life stories like the Donner Party do point out the one emergency scenario where you'd be trapped with no food but abundant fresh water: a blizzard.

E. Spaceman:
I dunno, we were talking about this on the gabbly when it was being made, and the intent was not  (at least i remember so), not to be in hypothetical situations where it was your only option, but a wide range of hypothetical situations where you had many options. My personal opinion is that in a hypothetical situation where consumption of human steaks was either legal, or where avoiding the consequences of illegally eating someone else would be easier, i'd defintely be inteested.
