Now, considering what this species has done to this planet, not to mention other animal species that co-inhabit it with us, there is the question of whether our species should even have the moral right to survive.

But then on the other hand, ANY species with as high an intellect that was on top of the food chain would likely commit the same crimes against moral that we as a species have. Morals as a concept are a human creation, to help us be able to exist together as a society.

If it were down to the last 50 fertile women, and the survival of the species was at stake, I do not see the world being a very sovereign place. At our most animal-like level, we have a need to survive and procreate, regardless of how much we try to supress it in favour of morals, ethics and wholesome values. The closer we get to that level, the less these values mean. The less you see the suit and the tie, and the more you see of the animal.

The survival of the species takes precedence over the feelings of an individual, and if it's down to the last 50, then fuck morals.
