point 1: if I recall correctly, modern science has also traced back through the mitochondria of the human cells the number of "primeordial Eves" and there are a helluva lot less than 1000. So science contradicts itself constantly, since nobody ever knows for sure what would happen given those circumstances.
point 2 & 3: we care! that's the whole point.
quote George Carlin: "you know where the sanctity of life came from? We made it UP!" Life in itself has the urge to feed and to procreate. We feel (note feel: not rational, pure instinct) we are something special, so we will go on, no matter what it takes. Nobody cares at that point what "the universe" thinks of us.
point 4: explain to me how rape is a crime to humanity? I agree with todays morals and standards, it is a crime, and should be punished. Why? Because we are civilised and cultured enough to refuse it. But we're talking about a totally different setting here, we're talking about no more real culture, since there are only 50 people left (or 100, don't remember if it was 1 man or 50)
point 5: I don't know how well you are aware of this, but when there are 50 men and women around, I doubt high-tech things like in-vitro & artificial insemination will be possible. Also, if you use artif. insemination, the woman still has to bear the child. And I figured in-vitro meant fertilising the egg outside the body and then implanting it... so again she has to bear the child... seems a moot point.
