Article mentions nothing about why it's a bad idea...

  It mentions harming a native biosphere that may exist.

    So it may be a bad idea? Seems a little premature to make an absolute statement without any support.

  I didn't even realize that. I guess that with hopes of finding new life at their highest ever, we wouldn't want to contaminate that (if that's the right way to say it).

    I'm not sure that is the right way to see it. If we did find life on Mars would that mean humans could never travel there? I don't so. More than likely we need to transplant Earth life to Mars for large scale terraforming.
