Obviously the goal was regenerate the species, I went for reproductive capacity. So I had like the alcoholic male accountant, the 5 women of childbearing age (one already pregnant), a medical student of no identified gender who was a terrorist, and a 12-year-old orphan boy.
No one else used this principle. One guy ended up with all women and people of indeterminate gender because they had skills.
We are doomed.

I suspect I'd choose more similarly to you. Choosing younger people (vs. the 60-year-old--regardless of their gender) would make sense as well.
