I said "In Halo". Humanity in the Halo fiction is little more than a corpse, on its way to joining the Imperium of Man. It just doesn't know that it is dead yet.
I see no reason, other than emotional reasoning, to preserve a species simply because it is my species. That wouldn't factor into it at all. It is something that I don't see questioned an awful lot in sci-fi and it is something to question in our own society: Are you fighting for just your nation, or are you fighting for something that transcends that, such as Human dignity, the sanctity of life, Justice, Human Rights, etc?
Humanity in Halo though has become something of a tyrannical, parasitical and xenocidal imperialist state and it is not something that I would want to see preserved at all. Species doesn't matter in the slightest for me. Why would anyone want to fight to spread that? Obviously pre-Halo 3 it is in my best interest to fight, but after it when Human isn't a mark to be killed I don't see why, especially when there might be other places that aspire to more.
