In the case of Queen v. Dudley and Stephens (1884), two shipwrecked sailors, Dudley and Stephens, resorted to cannibalism to survive after being stranded at sea for several days. They killed and ate the cabin boy, Richard Parker, who was also stranded with them. The court ruled against Dudley and Stephens, asserting that necessity is not a defense to murder, leading to their conviction. The case raised significant ethical and legal questions about survival and the limits of self-preservation.
