Default If you and someone of the opposite sex....

Were the last two people alive...would you try and keep mankind going?

How?

If you had a daughter/son would you/spouse do the child to keep mankind alive...?

Or would you have a son and a daughter and just tell them its okay to have sex?

Who knows. That's one of those desparate survival situations where all bets are off. I wouldn't normally eat human flesh either. But if we're stranded somewhere and starving to death, I might start gnawing on you even before you're dead!

well...if you believe the bible, all of mankind decended from only adam and eve...

besides, isn't there some sort of government program where like 15 couples are living in a bunker under the swiss alps so they can repopulate the planet in the event of a nuclear fallout?

but if i was the one of the last two people on the planet, the last chick on earth better be hot, or i'll be on my way to the ferrari dealership.

if you were the last two people alive on earth, wouldnt you die soon from plague or disease from all the dead bodies laying around.. i mean i would assume that you just didnt out live everyone, something had to have happen causing everyone to suddenly be dead.. i would focus my attention on getting somewhere far far away from all the disease..

unless of course everyone hasnt died they just managed to leave earth, and left you two behind, i would also assume if this happens, they would probably take all the cool ____ with them, including the cool cars.

id probably just chill at my pad, eat top ramen, go to seven-11, then costco, and take all the cigarettes, smoke as much as i need.. (you know, same thing i do everyday of my life)

I'm sure they store sperm in there. After all they call it a "seed" bank...of all kinds of seeds known to man kind.

Life fights to live on. There are animals in the wild, including mammals, that when exposed to no one of the opposite sex for long periods of time, can develop the ability to have children to continue the species.

So i would be willing to bet that if it came down to 2 people to repopulate, it could be done genetics or not. Life is ever evolving.

The world doesn't need humans to "live." Earth has and will do just fine without us.

I think just one man and just one woman could repopulate the earth.

So the man and woman would have many, many children. These brothers and sisters (hell, supposed dad and kid, kid and mom too) could have children also.

Then, only the children who come out seemingly healthy, will be bred.

Then, just continue breding the ones that are the most genetically stable and furthest apart in the family.
