more complicated issue of survival ...

[Guest guest]

The interesting question then to ask is, " what constitutes survival? " .

 

You body could last a good forty days without food depending on

circumstances. It will go at least 3 days without water [ a friend

managed 8 ]. How lost would you be or how long would it take for you to

crack and have a hamburger? As I said, it is not really a practical

conversation and as such I would not get into it.

 

If you want to consider a much more complicated ethical issue of

survival, put yourself in these guy's shoes and ask yourself what you

would have done.

 

Three men were deserted on an island and were caught by cannibals. The

cannibal chief tells the three men they are going to be put on trial, and

unless they pass the trial, they would be eaten.

 

For the first part of the trial, the chief told the three men to go into

the woods and find 10 of the same fruit and bring them back to the camp.

So the three men went into the woods in search of fruit to complete the

first part of the trial.

 

The first man came back with 10 apples. The chief explains the second

part of the trial to him. He tells the man to take each piece of fruit

he found and shove it up his butt. But, while he is doing this, the man

can not show any type of expression on his face. The man proceeds with

the trial, he gets the first one in and doesn't express any pain. But

once he started with the second, he cried out in agony. So the cannibals

killed him and ate him.

 

The second man comes back with berries. The chief explains the second

part of the trial to the man. He takes the berries and starts shoving

them up his butt he gets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8....then bursts out in

laughter. So the cannibals killed him and ate him too.

 

The first two men met in heaven and the first man says to the second man,

" you were doing so good and almost got out of there alive, why did you

start laughing? " The second guy turns to him and replies, " as I was bent

over, I looked over and saw the third man coming back carrying pineapples "
