Many things?
A resource for whom?
I'm not being bitchy but its really just simpler if I get the wikipedia entry; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resources
Humans are literally a resource and their value is determined by their expertise, age, physical capabilities, education and the number of people who posses the desired characteristics.
As availability of human resources increases wages and rights will decrease because humans decrease in value. In this event even the rarest of expertise become more readily accessible. Multi-national businesses will literally send a private jet to India and back if it gets them the man for the job if its specialized enough.
What happens when humans spread across the universe? What happens when instead of just one planet full of them we have one hundred? All filled with humans who needs jobs, education, food, water. What is the tangible value of the average human life in such circumstances?
The simplest answer is "less than it is now".
"That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die."
