* AndIMustScream: "Kingsmeat" has a man convince human-eating aliens to eat only pieces of the men and women of a human colony. The people of the colony are naturally pissed about this, but the authorities decide the man was in the right and order the colony to keep him alive as long as medically possible. [[spoiler:They do so... ''after'' removing all the parts not strictly necessary to survive.]]
