Ahhh, I'm pretty sure they would die unless resupplied from earth on a continual basis. At a cost that would quickly exceed the cost to bring them back. Such a one way mission would be an empty, expensive stunt. A suicide mission with nothing at stake.

Come to think of it, a round trip would still be a pointless expensive stunt. In the current state of interplanetary travel, unmanned missions are much better for a long list of reasons.
