Clavus, for asking that question, even though i can only answer for myself, the answer is yes, i firmly believe that if i could do something of that much importance, i would give up anything that is my own (my body, my life, my possessions) to do it. To me, giving life is truly a great gift. As i said before, sometimes, we have to look at reality. The real world is not so nice, it is not kind, nor is it forgiving. There aren't always second chances, and no, life IS NOT FAIR, and it will never be. This is my take on life. Desperate situations call for desperate measures.

The mere fact that we are talking about 'rape' is vaguely irrelevant. If the situation were reversed, and there were a million women and 50 guys, should the guys be forced to impregnant the all? What if there were all ridiculously disgusting? My answer would be the same, reality calls for desperate measures. And nobody commented on what i said earlier. If one of the women had a infectious and devastating disease, would you PREVENT her from having children, or prevent her children from procreating? Or worse, would you simply kill her off just in case? This is truly a moral predicament, because now we're talking about the so-called 'quality' of someone's offspring.

When we're talking about life, or no life, the choice is easy. If life is more important, then things must happen that may not be pleasant. In this instance, i would say impregnate them all, not necessarily by rape, but if need be, sure. If the situation were reversed, have those 50 guys do the same. My point is, life isn't fair.

If life were truly fair, Americans wouldn't throw perfectly good food away each day in the trash, waste electricity, over heat and over cool their homes, drive SUVs, etc etc and perhaps some of our surplus could continue to help those in need. (uhoh, i hope i don't open up a debate about foreign countries, i take it all back). Let me just say, life is NOT fair . We try to make it as fair as possible, but it just isn't.

But anywayz, that's just IMHO
