So much trouble can be avoided if they do this.
From those sources one can learn:
1. Clones will invariably age faster and degenerate quickly. They will also be ‘evil’. See Dolly the sheep.
2. Computer will rise up against humans and enslave us. This will happen because the internet will become intelligent / self-conscious (see ‘emergence’ theory)
3. Human beings will become infertile and resort to cloning. In the future they’ll travel back in time to steal our present day genes in order to increase their own gene-pool.
4. All other aliens will be highly aggressive and seek to enslave or eat us.
