*** It's verboten ''now'', when making humans the old-fashioned way is a ready option. Deprive us of the ability to reproduce conventionally, and taboos about human cloning will vanish as soon as the plummeting birth-rate stats are released to the public.

**Because even the thought of genetically engineering/cloning humans is expressly verboten. Only non-humans are fair game for "improvement" and "fixing" to be the way "they should be".

** Also, wouldn't plenty of people who don't trust the various governments' intentions and/or competence have hidden away from the gas [[spoiler: and thus remained fertile: able to reproduce themselves ''and'' donate gametes to others]]? The news was entirely open about the Noah plan, so it's not like the populace-at-large didn't know the gas was going to be unleashed, and the animal attacks have already destroyed many civilians' faith in the authorities' good intentions or ability to protect them.

* Bats flew across some of the most stormy seas in the world to an icy wasteland their bodies were never equipped for, a 1000 km voyage at the very least, for the sole purpose of killing two minor research scientist. Birds are later shown to be affected by the defiant pupil: why wasn't it pelagic birds doing the killing instead? A couple of albatross could have done as much damage as those hundreds of bats. Alternately, penguins could have waddled inland and gone on the offensive, which would have been amazing.
*** The bats are shown to be drawn to electricity. Exactly how much electricity was this small research outpost producing with its one solar panel?
* Jamie loses her job in part because both her journalistic articles and her anonymous activist blog use the word "pettifoggery". Later, she's amazed to discover the fairly well-known fact that people tracking wild animals refer to their droppings as "scat". She's not presented as an out-of-touch character: why does she know the obscure word, but not the common one?
