Re:Really Cool! (Score 3)

Yeah, sending robots to a distant far-away planet with frozen fertilized eggs would be cool, but what if it worked? Would it really ensure the survival of our civilization? Or would these new humans be a totally different race because they had no cultural ties whatsoever to us? Would they just die from depression because they had no older human to care for them, teach them, etc.? And what is more important to us: the survival of our species or the survival of our civilation (art, literature, way of life, etc.). There is so much we don't know about ourselves that it would be silly and perhaps even cruel to send unborn members of our civilization on such a mission. I mean, if you were one of these babies, wouldn't you ask yourself, "Why did they send me? Didn't they want me back on Earth with them?" Just a few thoughts on the topic.
