On the survival of the human race in a desperate situation.
The Survival of the human race may one day depend on rape, but would that justify rape?
Picture this. The earth has been bombarded by astroids and only a handful of people have survived. A lot of religious women and a couple of highly intelligent atheist men. Now these religious women do not want to have sexual intercourse with unbelievers, but time is short. Either the men rape the women and start rebuilding society or the women have their way and everyone dies out. Would rape be justified? If so, how much force should be used? Is it possible to humanely rape a woman? Basically so you could say you were not proud of what you did, but it had to be done and you did it as humanely as possible.

Otherwise, I could care less about the survival of the human race. In the grand scheme of things, our survival is meaningless. There is likely intelligent life elsewhere anyways. Once I die, I won't be around care.
If it comes to rape being the only option, it'd probably better for humanity to die out.
However, I do agree that this question doesn't seem to be appropriate here.
(If I may add, both scenarios are fairly common even now, and we're not even facing extinction yet)
