The deleterious effects of inbreeding could be circumvented by cloning.  After 1000 generations of cloning, perhaps there would be enough mutations in each persons DNA to add enough genetic diversity.

Edit:  Saw where someone said to take sperm samples.  Great idea!

Dumb question, babies haven't had their brains rattled and destroyed yet by pony tail wearing school teachers who haven't had to deal with the real world.  Babies are born smarter than that, the damage to their cognitive skills is done later.

They would be reduced to a fine red paste, and used as marmalade for our morning toast.

Moot Point.

Not enough genetic diversity in 20 individuals to keep the human race going.  

Within a few generations, it will look like a swap meet in the parking lot of a Wal Mart in West Virginia or Arkansas..... or a Carlos Mencia convention.
