In actual fact, if the sacrifice was refused the vault computer would inform them that they would not be killed, that they were a shining example to humanity and that the vault door was now open and they could come and go as they pleased. This horrifying trend continues in different manners with different tests until we get to Vault-Tec Vault No. 69 which contained only 1000 residents. 1 man and 999 women. Good luck to him...
