Grand-Final
Motion: A group of five cave explorers are trapped following a cave-in and face the risk of death from starvation.  They learn via intermittent radio contact that without food, they are likely to starve to death before they can be rescued. They decide that someone should be killed and eaten so that the others may survive. They decide who should be killed by throwing a pair of dice. One is chosen, as a result, but changes her mind about providing consent for her being the one slaughtered.
TH, as the other four explorers, would slaughter her anyways.
