If there were only you and another person left on the whole planet....?

And they were HIV positive....would you let the human race die or would you procreate with them?

We'd go at it like wild laboratory rabbits.

doesnt matter, your offspring would be the last of the human race if you did mate...

Dont think it would much matter, you would be "screwed" either way..

let them die because we would both have hiv and so would the child and we would die anyways

With HIV i would think we would already be dead

The human race would come to an end because even if i did reproduce i would have HIV and eventually everyone would die so there is no point in wasting my lonly 2 people life

I think you have answered your own question. There are only 2 of you and one of you have a dying decease. Why procreate when the child will probably be infected and die and before death they live a sickly life.

No. It would be cruel and selfish to create a child that would have so much suffering!

You must mean that one is a man and one a woman, because two men or two women wouldn't matter, so let's assume it's man and woman. Which one has HIV?

Well, there's no way I could know if we were the only ones left. In addition, if we were in fact (and could know) that we were the only ones left, I'd want to know something about why that happened. If it was because of something humans did--like the USA using its 17,000 plus nuclear weapons, then I'm not sure I'd want the species to continue, better let it just die out. If it was something beyond our control, like an asteroid hit, I'd of course try to perpetuate the species, but if one partner was HIV positive, any offspring might also be positive and might not last very long after birth.

Those are all very fact based answers, but I see the moral dilemma you are getting at. Would a person risk a most certain ultimate death for the good of mankind. My honest answer seriously, no joke, is no. Not for selfish reasons but for the following...Mankind has done more to screw up this planet in the last 400 years than it could ever try to fix in the next 1000. I'm not an eco-freak, a political hater or a religious radical. I'm just a practical person who tries to see things from a few points of view.

The chance of survival of mankind would be low because even if by some miracles children genes were to mutate there would be problems with not having "new blood".
Mankind would be slowly becoming a village of retarded freacks (possibly infected and with very short life span) that would have no respect for their own kind.

Can't put that much pressure on me

. If it went to that point its pretty much over.
Safe Furnication seems ok, procreation a shorting a meaningless life....

Fornication with the proper Protection to prevent Procreation. I wouldn't want to go down in the annals of time, however brief, as the "Father" of a hopelessly doomed society.
