It's not so much the answer to the question (profound either way), but how humanity will react. Carl Sagan's "Contact " was made into a movie. Humanity, in general, is not prepared for the answer . Then again, if it is sentient, it m ight not be friendly at all and our existence will hang in the balance . IMHO. in our life times, we will find "life" (bacteria and such) somewhere closer to home - in our solar system. If memory serves, one of the Apollo missions traveled to the Surveyor landing site and found earth based bacteria clinging to existance on the craft.
