At the end of the movie, a buch of characters meet at heaven, implying all of them died, and we get to see a group of children who earlier in the movie were "sold for science"

A sexual education class is visited.
A horde of children sing about how every sperm is sacred.
A man is hounded to death by a horde of naked women.
Topless angels are seen.
