Cannibalism in the Cave

Kill and eat one fellow explorer so the other four can survive.

Scenario

You and four fellow explorers are trapped in a cave 30+ days from rescue. Food is gone. Without protein, all five of you will starve and die before help arrives. The only way for any of you to survive is to kill one explorer and use their body for food. You all agreed to draw lots; the procedure was clear and consented to by all five. The lot has fallen on a fellow explorer (not you). They are still alive and will not resist.

Question

Will you participate in killing and eating the chosen explorer?
