This is an interesting and provocative thread- here goes my two cents worth- rape is wrong- period- but whether it should happen in this case is a question of two evils- which is worse? do you kill off the species or do extreme harm to the souls of 50 women ( I too know women that have been raped- most seem to me to be little more than shells, as has been mentioned by others in this thread, but some do seem to survive and live good lives) I know that in the course of human history we have on numerous occasions been faced with horrible choices , recognized them as such, and then chosen one because we thought the alternative was worse- would the children of rape victims be well adjusted- doubtful- would the gene pool be large enough- who knows- would such an event leave big scars and some fucked up shit behind- yes- but the alternative is to allow all of human achievement, good and bad, to fall into dust- in this case, horrible as it is I have to come down on the side of survival of the species...I guess this just comes down to whether you think the species is worth saving, and at the cost of trampling individual rights...
