The preciousness of life on a cosmic scale

Are there other life-experiments in the stars, as there is here on Earth? Possibly. But I believe it best if we assume that life exists nowhere else. Not necessarily because it is true or even probable, but because given what we know about life, we know it is precious. We should act and behave as if all live in the universe is in mortal danger; we should be gripped in deep horror on an individual and cosmic scale when we think that if all life on earth disappears, then all reflection, all perspective, all consciousness would disappear with it.
