There is an environmental tie in, it goes way back. The first question was something along the lines of "if we discover an animal species that is about to go extinct, are extraordinary measures justified in order to save it". If someone answered with an unqualified "yes" (nobody on the thread did), the second hypothetical would have provided a potentially interesting comparison.

The "environmentalism" angle was THE issue. Remember, this started with a post or two before we got to the man and the woman. No one seemed to be responding, so I just got impatient and said to myself, "hell, and threw in the second part of the set up. As for who's going to pay the taxes and suffer restrictions to preserve the two humans -- obviously, no one. There are many here that might argue that people can prosper without this sort of thing. The thing needed to repopulate is offspring. The connection between the non-human and human species was simply that an extreme price would be required to perpetuate the species. And, CB, I concede the man raping the women is a natural, almost automatic assumption. But, it is far from an absolute. Guys have "feelings" too, you know -- Maybe the guy is some incarnation of Woody Allen and just can't seem to "get it together" long enough to do it.
