I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but I can't find the answer on the other posts....I'm Super new to this show and I want to keep watching....

I am thinking that at the end of the day, no one on the Ark gets "reduced"...But I wonder why instead of sending a large population of the "youth" of the Ark why not send the 209 that were slated to be reduced? So instead of "killing" them and getting nothing out of it but more days of oxygen, why not use THEM to test the conditions on earth? At least those are probably adults and maybe there is a SMALL chance that so many wouldn't have gone rogue and thus resulted in better communication with the Ark from the ground.......

Forgive me if someone has already asked and it was answered.....
