We need to monetize the investigation of Enceladus. Bringing back alien life from another planet would give us the opportunity to adapt their sensors and tools into our technology. Could we patent the blueprint of the alien life to reward the company that brings it back here?
Could the government say: "whatever company brings back an alien life form from enceladus can receive just compensation for any company who uses it for 50 years?"
