Why would they, having all together a different biology, psychology, history, perception, and motivation, take to our pitiful, ad hoc, variable, self-serving contrivance called morality? Rather ethnocentric of you, don't you think?

I just can't see any good justification for eliminating a less advanced species that poses no immediate threat to the universe. Observing the species would make more sense.
