I don't see how cannibalism would remove your humanity.
And I don't believe in the Wendigo.
Humanity is a fairly modern concept. I don't see my hunter gatherer ancestors having any moral dilema when it came to the consumption of human flesh in a survival situation.
would I kill someone to eat them?... honestly?....I don't know, I'm not in that situation, I'd like to think that I wouldn't but I couldn't say for definite.
Remember Skeans scenario in another post about the guy hunting in the forest, hears gunshots and finds people dead?
Now imagine that scenario a little differently, you are hunting in the woods, it has been a very hard winter, you are starving to death slowly and your family is sick from hunger, you find the truck is empty but you are now surrounded by freshly killed meat! What do you do? Walk away and hope that you strike lucky in a couple of days and kill a pig or deer? Or make the most of the food that has been delivered to you?
I know what I would do.
