This month, “Stowaway<\/a>”\u00a0brings the pro-life worldview into popular culture. The science-fiction drama (rated for mature audiences-MA) released on Netflix follows the ethical dilemma of a crew en route to Mars. The ship, led by Commander Marina Barnett (Toni Collette), is on a two-year mission to a colony on Mars. Conducting research aimed at advancing colonization are a biologist David Kim (Daniel Dae Kim), and medical doctor Zoe Levenson (Anna Kendrick). The mission is jeopardized when the crew unexpectedly discovers a technician, Michael (Shamier Anderson), on board and learn that there is not enough oxygen for all the people on board safely to reach Mars. Unable to turn back and unable to resupply, they are trapped.<\/p>\n

The crisis divides the crew. Barnett calculates that they have 20 days before the ship will not be able to support all four people for the duration of the flight. She and Kim are strongly in favor of preserving the excess oxygen in case there are further complications that endanger their air supply. They advocate killing Michael to ensure that there is enough air for the three planned crewmembers, who are highly trained and critical to the success of their collective work. Levenson, on the other hand, argues that there is the possibility of finding a way to save Michael and urges her colleagues to use all the time they have to try to find a solution.<\/p>\n
