At what point after “the big one” is it permissible to eat one’s relatives and neighbors? I mean, do you have to wait until they’re dead, or can they simply be unconscious for a certain period of time?

ETA: I ask because surely when it comes to humans, fresher is better, right?

All meat is better fresher.

There is no such thing as permissable or not, do what you want when you want to.
