Why only one girl? (Possible Spoiler)


If they were supposed to be people that had a natural immunity or resistance to the deadly virus, why was only one of them female? Why was there only one girl? Why wouldn't there be a roughly equal number of boys and girls in the Trial?

So teeny boys watching this film can identify themselves with someone, and horny teeny girls could watch halfway cute boys.

Yeah, for me this was about the only thing that bothered me about this movie.
I guess there are many explanations but NeoOne makes most sense if you see this as a single movie. (But it's not so I understand that some story holes and the unsatisfying ending bothers most users here.)
Otherwise I found this quite good. I especially liked the analogy about the rat lab situation, life in general.
