Why is it that people think aliens would bother to "save" us at all. I think of it in terms of animals. We use animals for testing and medical research, etc. because they are considered a lower life form.
Wouldn't aliens consider us a lower life form? I would imagine something significant would change in the million or so years they are more than likely ahead of us.
Perhaps they would salvage some people from Earth for the same reason that we study ancient fossils and skeletons.
But I can't think of any value in rescuing us at all.

Well, we try to save many animal species that might go extinct some day, it would reasonable for the Aliens to do something like that too.

If we were going to become totally extinct any time soon, I should think they would speed up the abductions by now.
Plus, you are talking about two different species. I guess if you are operating under the premise that aliens are an entirely different species, and not evolved from humans, perhaps I could see the correlation then.
However, would we try to save a line of cavemen? No, because we have evolved past that.
I guess the question that I should have asked first is: Do you believe that aliens are an evolved form of humans?

We were "bringing them back" scientifically, not to colonize them and have them reproduce.
But the glaring point here is that we did this after they were dead. Much like if we became extinct, aliens could do so in the same manner without ever even having to deal with us alive.
But what if it has conection to 2012 the end of the world or what is going to happend, what if those who abducted people is to pick who they can save. and they go after DNA, sins many ppl have wird scare after getting abducted (blood sample) But people with the right DNA would be saved or something, maby they do something to this people that make them possible survive i dont know where im going with thise.
maby is just the lack of sleep thats is talkin
