This is serious.

If someone was stuck on a desert island, with low rations of supplies, woul consuming one of their body parts to buy time be a viable option?

You'd probably die of shock or bleed to death after awhile.

Im sure the blood loss would kill even faster.

What if you bound your arm? Could consuming a few fingers or toes be reasonable, to keep you alive until a new source of food comes in?

If it was a desert island, dehydration and consumption of saltwater might get you first.

Then it would get infected and you'd die that way.

Unless you got medical attention very soon after doing so, you would die.

your body will consume itself without your help.  autosarcophagy would only help to satisfy hunger at the risk of blood loss, infection, shock or even an embolism or stroke.
