Hey this is America, what happened to ME;ME ME

Funnily enough that was the answer I gave almost.
My reasoning was:
Taking that the situation was true then certain assumptions can be made.
Firstly it is not possible for 5 people to restart the human race, to small a gene pool. So it would be fair enough to assume that if we had the technology to build a spaceship that can reach another planet then we probably have the technology to have sperm, eggs and artificial wombs to breed a new generation of children.
Then consider the twenty, what can be assumed about them.
Not much really, all I have is there proffesion but that tells me nothing. The doctor might be an quack, the preacher a peadophile, the teenager a glue sniffer with aids and so on. I don't know that they are but I don't know thet aren't either. And I can't ask them.
And if there is a way of breeding a new race which there must be if the purpose is to continue the species then what is really needed is 5 people who are willing and able to raise children.
Well I know I am and I can ask the other 4 at the table and found out they are. So logically we are the best 5 people to go.
Trouble was it wasn't the answer the person who was running the workshop was expecting but hey can you fault the logic?
