You seem to suppose that the survival of a species is of sufficient importance that its continuance would justify rape. Is that what you mean?
Why can't it be that if a species cannot survive without rape, then it ought not survive?
Animals are not the same as humans.... They rape each other...they don't seem to care much. Maybe it's not their favorite but I don't think they suffer any emotional trauma.
Take snails for example. They are the most sexually perverse of any creature I know. When snails mate it is a strange dance comprised of shooting love darts that can actually kill the other snail. At the same time they impregnate one another since they are hermaphroditic. Not much romance about it but certainly lots of passion which can become lethal. Nothing consensual about it, much more fierce than Klingons.
But that is the way evolution has worked out in their case. It would be silly to point a shaming finger at them. They simply do what they do.
