tracer bullet: actually, the whole individuals thing is a very *very* recent fenomenon. Up until not that long ago, there were a few individuals, but most of them were masses, no matter how you look at it.
Morals and values of the individual are again a recent phenomenon. They are in reality a luxury we have these days because of a general welfare, civilisation and technology.
If you take that all away, most human will easily slump back to previous forms of living.
The survival of the species is not a moral duty, it's beyond that, it's a natural urge, an instinct. If it really came to it, that instinct would kick in I'm sure.
I don't know whether any woman would refuse it, and if she did, I'm pretty sure the others would peer-pressure her into it.
