Of course! Millions of people starve to death in North Korea so cannibalising your children is acceptable there. People in India live in destitution so selling your organs is acceptable there. People in Africa live in destitution, so sending children to diamond mines is acceptable there. When we are under extreme situations where we wonder how we are going to keep the roof over our head, we will risk it all because you have nothing else to lose. There being only one man and woman alive is kinda like the same thing! As farms and petrol don't exist anymore, you need a means to feed yourself without hunting animals yourself. Creating new life via rape is a good way to ensure you get fed in a world where there is no wildlife. People can shake their head and preach off a moral high ground, but until you're in a life and death situation, you never know what twisted deviousness you'll do to propagate the human race. Despite all the vegans talking about animal rights, 17 million chickens are slaughtered in Britain each week. Is it possible to harvest 17 million potatoes in Britain each week? No it is not. If God exists, then God has a lot to answer for, for making other animals suffering a requirement, in order for the human race to survive. Now for humans, using rape if there is only one man and woman alive is human instinct, and if you disagree, you know you will have sex with a man if they was they were last man alive. I can guarantee it. People find no qualms in having sex with cult leaders or a remote tribe where pubscent boys perform oral sex regularly on male adults in order to induce "growth hormones". You wouldn't want to die knowing you caused the end of the human race. You don't even want to die yourself.

If you were one of the last two people alive, would you bet money that you wouldn't be raped in order to produce a child? I wouldn't bet money on it at all. Would you?
