Will first contact with aliens spell the end of civilisation?

"The Earth Speaks project involved surveying 2,000 people from 70 countries around the world. It was carried out by scientists who have been listening out for radio signals from extraterrestrials since 1960, so far without success, to see what people would say to ET.

Seti (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) scientist Dr Doug Vakoch said: 'One of the striking commonalities - men and women, young and old - was a message: 'Please help.'

'A sense that we are in very precarious time in our development as a civilisation. Our technologies are greater than our social stability.'"
