It's unclear to me from this quiz if the eating of buddies is supposed to occure once they've already succumed to death, or if I'm supposed to slaughter them. If they were already dead, I'd have no qualms in eating them. I don't think I'd slaughter them. Well, I'd like to hope that I wouldn't slaughter them.

I read an excellent discussion of this in a novel. It pointed out that, if there was more than one person left, crossing the line over to cannibalism is dangerous. Once you've decided that it's okay to eat someone who has died, you've introduced a situation in which starving people might wish someone would die, so they can eat again. Even if they won't commit murder, there could still be that niggling thought in the back of their head, or a slight hesitancy to help someone stay alive, or the eventual vote that perhaps a lottery is the fairest solution.

When there's only one person left, the issue would go away.

Given all the questions about how strong and fast you are, I suspect slaughtering was considered an option.
