Well this thread has degenerated into...

Anyways, I'd just like to point out that the places where cannibalism is most prevalent (the Pacific islands) are places with very few land animals, and therefore very few sources of protein.

Cannibalism, at least in a societal way, seems to either have spiritual/religous roots (eat your enemies, get their strength) or nutritional/dietary roots (need protein to survive), or some combination of the two.

Part 1 - Yes.
Part 2 - I'd try to make it as much like a normal meal as possible, so I'd prepare it like any other type of meat.
Part 3 - Yes, I'd share.

I don't think that cannibalism is anything addictive, if you do it out of necessity. Of course, there are stories of British soldiers who served in Asia during famines. In certain cities, after all stray cats and dogs were taken care of, the stories go that children were next - and you could actually walk into a butcher shop and choose the cut that you wanted. Some of these men returned home with a penchant for human flesh. Albert Fish (Google him, you won't be disappointed) claims to have his roots somewhere in there.
