The '''Speluncean Explorers''' is a [[hypothetical]] [[thought experiment]], consisting of an invented series of facts, and a series of judicial [[opinion]]s from invented justices of the "Newgarth" Supreme Court.
In the hypothetical fact set, a group of explorers is caught in a subterranean cave-in. Rescue is on its way, but the explorers will run out of food and all die, unless they are able to eat. Upon evacuation, it is found that one of the explorers was killed and ''eaten'' in an act of [[cannibalism]]. The remaining explorers are charged with murder, and convicted.
