If food were scarce and we needed protein, would you considered eating human flesh if it were processed ethically, which would be similar to leaving your body to scientific study and donating your organs after death? If you had the choice to be put down with the idea that your corpse would go to feed starving people would you? Would consider this a heroic act, giving up your own life to save others?

I doubt it
Perhaps as a temporary solution while waiting for a rescue team to bring you back to places with much food, I'd be willing to give up my life for that situation. But this could never work as a long-term solution because, aside from still running out people to eat eventually, cannibalism in all creatures quickly creates Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, which cause numerous break downs to the body and mind.
I'd be much more willing to eat little to no food in order to give my shares to someone else.
As for eating someone else for survival, I guess I couldn't say unless I was in the situation, but I don't think I have what it takes to go through it.

Personally, I think the option is perfectly moral, if handled ethically, and I wouldn't be bother if human flesh were sold as food. Any person willing to give up their life would be a hero in my opinion.

It's Coming
It is going to come about in the very near future. I suggest that you read all of Deuteronomy 28, but here is the gist of it:
Deu 28:49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
Deu 28:50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young:
Deu 28:51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
Deu 28:52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
Deu 28:53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
Deu 28:54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
Deu 28:55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
Deu 28:56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
Deu 28:57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
