In a survival situation would you eat human flesh to stay alive?
May 28, 2008
The northern regional Police command is getting ready to arraign before court, a 25 year old farmer who killed his brother over a disagreement and ate his flesh for supper.
The young man who is believed to be sane explained to the Police in his caution statement that he ate his brother’s body because he needed food to survive overnight. He also explained that other parts of the body including the Penis and testicles which were found in his possession were for future consumption.
But it is not unheard of for humans to eat the flesh of other humans just to survive. Mothers are known to have eaten their children in order to stay alive and friends lost on mountains are known to have done same to a dead one.
As gory as this may sound, consider it for a moment.
If you were shipwrecked on an island and your only friend with you died, would you eat his/ her flesh to survive or wait for death to come your way?

i will never eat a human flesh…i rather will like to die than to engage myself in such an act. God forbid bad thing.
This is inhuman and barbaric. Under no circumctance would I in a survival situation eat human flesh. For what, I would rather go hungry and die than eating a fellow human’s flesh.
But Kojo, this is not the first time such a case has happened. There is a similar case in the law books to which references have been made in subsequent adjudications
i will wait for death rather than eating human flesh for survival.
In this part of our world, eating human flesh is unusual and something unheard of. but in other cultures, there is nothing wrong with people eating their own kind.we know of animals such as dogs and cats eating their young ones especially just after birth.a lot of postulations has been given to this phenomena.while some say it is because such animals are starving after going through bouts of labor,others are of the view that it is natural that one or two young babies are fed on so that their mothers may be able to deliver next time. cannibalism may be permitted in the animal kingdom but not in human milieu.
kojo,even in war situations where survival is of necessity, people do not eat their fellow beings.no matter how human flesh tastes, i cannot for the life of me,eat it. i would rather eat unknown leaves or something else to survive.
Kojo,
It is an awful news never the less it is not surprising. Just look at what happened to the twins at Tsito. What about the butchered stories of women in the hand of their husbands/fiance
I think Ghana has become dreadful
God save us!
I CANNOT EAT A FELLOW HUMAN, HUH!
May God help us all. I cant eat a fellow human being just to survive.
bless you Kojo you make make ma day always joyful with Atto when i listen to some of these things, i think of what will be doing in the next 2years when people have began to eat human flesh
God forbid it will not even occur to me. AAAba!! Never Never Never!!!!
Hell No! not even when it’s well ganished and prepared.
Kojo why should I eat Human flesh? Whether I eat it or not, I will surely die some days to come so. I wil never venture.
i will never on earth do such a thing.no matter what tofiakwa kojo merenye da Nyame mpa ngu.
Please JoyFm can you guy keep up with posting the morning show, even with the absence of Mr Kojo. This is the only way we can hear from home. Thanks
eating your fellow human flesh is unacceptable and whoever does this must burn in the hotest part of hell or even if God should pardon such a fellow, he should rest in the warmest part of heaven and be fined. this is the worst thing to happen to any society. Nyonmo akpa ahwie .God save mother Ghana.Amen.
