Essay: should we implant life on Mars?

C P McKay et al. Sci Am. 1990 Dec.

Abstract

The question of whether or not we should implant life on Mars has at its core another question. Could we implant life on Mars? As interesting as the ethical considerations of the proposition are--and we shall look at these--they are moot unless the concept itself is feasible.
