The astrophysicist, Stephen Hawking, believes that if aliens were to visit earth they my just strip us of our resources and move on, leaving us to die. Hawkins also compared the encounter to Columbus coming to America, the aliens would take what they needed and kill he indigenous people if they stood in their way. I believe much in the same right. If it is possible for humans to kill other humans to get what they want, what is stopping an entirely different species from doing the same. There is a slight possibility that if there are aliens with the means to get to us that they may be friendly, but is it worth the risk of taking that chance in exchange for technology and outer space allies, when we have enough problems of our own?
