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 existence of lives on other planets is one of the debatable topics among scientists. There are pros and cons of making aliens know about us, though I believe that, they should not be aware of our existence in the universe due to inevitable consequences which may happen.
