Yes and don't delude yourself that this was already done on this planet...
Yeah, some people call this planet the "ant farm"...LOL. Meaning experiments on what would happen if we put a man a woman here.
This from a friend
The others were here or could be hear and or keep transmissions on usl. Maybe we are too violent and things. You have to wonder because there are billions are galaxies and you need to have to belief that we are not the only ones in this whole open space in our little space....Do you understand.

This is so true, case and point, EARTH.
Yes, however, we aren't sending proto-life or the conditions for proto-life to another body, we are sending already formed organisms that require specific environments which their bodies are evolved to survive in.
Could life form on a rock and find a way to extract nutrients and eventually form an intricate ecosystem, potentially, but not a few microbes.
There was this study done in the past couple of years where successive generations of a bacteria were recorded and eventually produced successive genetic mutations that allowed it to eat a new substance it couldn't previously. This is all well and good, but the difficulty even these controlled experiments had producing that change sort of points to the idea that it is extremely unlikely.

Then what is the point of doing it? Just to say that they done it? Whatever they're trying to do I know there gonna spend a lot of money doing it. So mine as well get your money's worth right?
the point is to test the effects of space on organisms to better protect humans when they go into space

yes we should
If its possible then we should. The strongest survive and if we go to other worlds and inhabit them then its the natural progress of things. If Nature, God or whatever doesn´t want it to happen then it won´t.
If there is no outside force making rules and all that then we should for our own survival as no one else it going to help us is there
