Some scientists think that there are intelligent life forms on other planets and messages should be sent to contact them. Other scientists think it is a bad idea and would be dangerous. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

The opinions of scientists go apart when it comes to the topic of other
life
 forms. Some say there exist other
life
 forms and that they should be contacted, while others would not do that because it could be dangerous. There are without a doubt pros and cons regarding
this
 topic, but in my opinion, it would not be a good idea to
contact
 them, because I would find it better to gain some knowledge about the other
life
 forms before you
contact
 them. On the
first
 hand would It be an unbelievable success to get to know other
life
 forms. Scientists have been searching for other
life
 forms probably for decades, but never got any signs. Millions of Dollars were spent to reach
this
 goal. It would change drastically people’s lives.
In addition
, the technology could in cooperation with the other
life
 forms, advance massively.
On the other hand
, could the
contact
 with other
life
 forms become very dangerous, because of the lack of knowledge the humanity has regarding other
life
 forms. Not knowing how your communicating partner looks like, functions or thinks could be very risky.
Additionally
, it could be
also
 the case that there don’t exist other
life
 forms and that huge amounts of money were spent without any sense. Summarized, I would not try to
contact
 other
life
 forms, because the cons in the form of the uncertainty if other
life
 forms exist and the danger in which humanity could be exposed exceeds in my opinion the pros in the form of the probability that other
life
 could be found and that a stable communication could be built.
