There is only one fertile woman left on the planet; she is our only hope of carrying on the species, but she does not want to do so. Her mind can't be changed. Is it okay to impregnate her against her will?

Yes; rape is morally acceptable in this case.
Yes, but only through artificial insemination.
No, it is not okay.
Other (this better be good)
This question is too stupid to dignify with a response.
You!

Some people have brought up the issue of a limited gene pool...I really didn't think of that when I posted the question. before commenting, please try to overlook that issue and stick to what the question is really about.

    her eggs should be harvested and implanted in surrogates, then she should be forced to produce as many female children as possible. survival of the species is imperative.

    i would say the same of the situations were reversed... an yes even if that one last fertile male was me. ok, especially if it were me...

    Science, bitches. She ought to be OK with donating some eggs to fertilized and carried in an artificial womb of some sort, yes? She only has to deal with the inconvenience of egg donation. Surely she can put up with that for the sake of the species.

    1. Rape is NEVER acceptable, not morally, not whatsoever.

    2. Artificial insemination against a woman when she doesn't want it is WRONG and should never be done.

    Now, the real issue.

    Has it ever occurred to you that if humans were extinct, it would be the best thing for the planet and all other life forms on it? If we were gone, they would thrive. While we're here, we destroy everything in our path.

    Has it also occurred to you that unless you keep her pregnant all the time, you can only create so many new people, in which case if they bred with each other, THAT is called INCEST. Which will keep the human race alive, but will make us even more dumb than we already are, if that's even possible.

    And, if we are to the point where only one woman is left who is fertile, could it be because again, we have destroyed everything on the planet, even ourselves, to the point where nature is basically disallowing us to further breed anymore? When we lose the ability to procreate our own species willfully, it's probably just time to turn the lights out.

    Either way, I think that if there is only one woman who can make the decision, she is an important woman. If you believe in God, in your twisted logic, would it not make sense that he gave her this decision? Maybe whether God exists or n...

And that is a moral decision in itself, and if she decided that was the conclusion, I would die happy.

    I'm not sure if your comments were directed at me or not. I agree human extinction would be the best thing for the planet and all other life forms on it. No, the limited gene pool did not even occur to me when I posed this question, unfortunately. Yeah, I overlooked that, but it's really not the point at all; the point was to present a moral dilemma that would make people think, and I did that. At the time I was discussing moral relativity and moral absolutes with someone and this question was a way of making him realize there are gray areas. He suggested I posted it on SH.

    No it is not ok. the two people will just have to come to some sort of solution. figure out why she doesnt want to get pregnant so maybe you will instead be able to use her eggs and whatever else to result in a child as long as its with the womans consent

    why is the continuation of the human race so important? we'll be gone one day . . . just like the dinosaurs and everything else that has gone extinct for one reason or another.

    in fact, the sooner we're gone the better chance mother earth will have to heal herself . . . and she has a LOT of work to do because of us. race important dinosaurs extinct reason chance mother earth heal work

    What macnamera killjoy said...

    And if they were to really get her pregnant, if they seriously needed to, just take her embryo and get sperm and do some damn cloning. Or just take some sperm and inject it into her somehow (like when she's sleeping). But rape is not okay.... and if putting sperm into her without her noticing is considered rape... then no it's not okay.

    No matter what, this woman is a person with the right to her own will regarding her body. There is recourse within a laboratory. Even if there was not, she has a right as to her own body. If the human race must die out, then it must be; but I believe that that one woman would probably change her mind, unless there was horrific evil that she saw must stop. That's how I would see it were I in her place. If matters were the way they are today, there's no way in hell I'd allow the human race to go on.

    No it is never ok to force someone into sex (that is rape), even if you proposed doing it by artificial insemination that is still rape. If she could not be persuaded, then mankind as a species dies. End of story!
