Alright, if you don't care about humanity as a species, what about life in general? So far we have no concrete evidence that life exists extraterrestrially, and as far as we know it could be unique to our planet. Even if its not unique to our planet, its quite possible that life is very rare, and very differentiated between its different origins (to the point where our particular flavor of life is unique). Aren't we, as the only species currently capable of doing so, obligated to attempt to protect life as we know it from destruction, however unlikely that possibility is in the near term?
