However, this is the one area in which I can really see some grounds to complain about Deliverance. The writer seems to prioritize the gene banks of potential lives ahead of Meeghat who is alive right now.
Hm. Interesting interpretation, but I think it's a real stretch to turn this into a pro-life message. Even if I subscribed to the view that Meegat's life were in some way a 'cost' (which I don't), I'd have read that as prioritizing the survival of an entire race over one individual. Gene banks don't to my mind equate to 'unborn'.
