Do you feel the same way about human colonization outside of Africa?

We have many people - including world leaders - that support, or run cover for, mass deaths on our very own planet, right now.
Don't think there'd be much consideration for the morality of colonizing another planet.
We have no idea how two entirely different biologies would interact, if they would at all. Its something that we should study before jumping in head first, but to think that we would travel light-years but not consider the implications is a little preposterous.
