Why should I sacrifice other races just to save Earth to begin with?

Because you're an alliance soldier that swore an oath to defend humanity to your last breath.

Adieu Tuchanka. Never really cared for the Krogan

Palaven would be my second choice. A war afterwords would be useless as the majority of Turians would be gone and the Humans would win swiftly.

Must keep Thessia and the Asari. They are great friends and we need the economy.

Must keep Sur'Kesh, the Salarians are also a more friendlier race and they have a cleaner history. Although in the demo's it looks like Sur'Kesh is getting battle torn.

Definitely must keep Earth. Humans are top priority. I am a Human. Why would I blast my homeworld and doom my species? That would just be retarded. Those who are blowing up Earth really are not seeing the consequences.

Dekunna? meh. Elcor are just kinda there.... I would save them but not before the Humans, Asari or Salarians.
Kahje, I would save them,  the Hanar and guests Drell they are a pretty cool people.

I'd let earth go in a heartbeat. Its a cosmic dumpster.

So....no.  Not a cosmic dumpster.  Your belief in such is erroneous.

It's very interesting that quite a few people on this board. seem to think that sacrificing earth as a possible option, but when is make a thread that actually the Alliance should deliberately let earth die, (keeping the Reapers while finding a way to destroy them) because that would be economical beneficial for the Alliance, then people complain on how in his name i could come to such a conclusion.

Destroying Earth is not economically beneficial.  Quite the opposite, in fact, as it would destroy almost all of humanity's heavy industry.

Because... because, nothing? For much that it hurts me, I will let the Earth to burn.

[jamesp81]

As I said above, my first choice would be the salarians, but I can see the wisdom in Tuchanka.

For most people, a populated world being burned is called a catastrophe. On Tuchanka, it's called Thursday.

You forgot "Earth is still divided among nation-states, though all are affiliated beneath the overarching banner of the Systems Alliance.
While every human enjoys longer and better life then ever, the gap
between rich and poor widens daily. Advanced nations have eliminated
most genetic disease
and pollution. Less fortunate regions have not progressed beyond 20th
century technology, and are often smog-choked, overpopulated slums.

Just sacrifice Quarians.

Oh, and Pavalen has already been taken over by the Reapers, so I don't think you can sacrifice that.

Palaven? The military Turians homeworld taken? I...oh...hmm. Didn't know that.

[sympathy4saren]

I wish I could sacrifice it early in the game

[dahoughtonuk]

Considering what we know.

Thelassia Lot of population but a wide range of developed worlds. So power least effected but probably hate us.
Sur'Kesh. Most dalatress don;t leave, suspect something essential.there for breeding
Tuchanka - Krogan homeworld
Palaven - It's loss could either kick of rebellions or second war.
Earth - Alliance needs it if we don;t want to end up like at best the Quarian'.

As a paragon Tuchanka and or Thessia.

As a renegade Sur'kesh and Palaven. destroy the spy network and the mililtary.

I would sacrifice earth in a heartbeat if it means saving the entire galaxy and countless lives.

Earth is just a planet. Humanity can rebuild somewhere else. They already have big colonies out there. The diversity in the gene pool is a given.

Just start over and do things right this time around.

[Unpleasant Implications]

If it comes down to it, either Earth or Thessia. Earth because humanity seems to have spread out enough in the galaxy to survive the lost. And Thessia because the Asari can (and do) mate with other species to create more. C'mon Asari, eventually, you're going to be only species in the galaxy, let's give the other species more of a chance.

If possible I would rather give up the Migrant Fleet. Lower population. Less sacrifice.

This is stupid. The game is about saving Earth, not losing it. Losing Earth is what you do when you want to see the fail ending, like Shepard dying in the suicide run. I.e. something you do with a non-canonical playthrough just to see it happen, before going back to your real saves.

If they actually made this a part of the story, it's one of the few plot catastrophes that would make me consider uninstalling the game. And not out of personal spite, but because not a single one of my Shepards would ever consider such a sacrifice. It would be impossible for me to keep that in character. The RPG aspect would be ruined.

True, a galaxy without humans is not a galaxy worth saving.

I wouldn't sacrifice Earth... but I would sacrifice Canada

[Dave of Canada]

Depends if it's sacrifice serves a purpose, then my Shepard would probably do it.

The Reapers destroying/conquering earth, in plot, would be awesome. A little reminder how powerful they are, and what we are up against. Need I remind you, they are THE PINNACLE OF EVOLUTION AND EXISTENCE. They are THE END OF EVERYTHING. (evolution included).

It's not about earth, or shouldn't be. It's about stopping the Reapers, even for a renegade. Stopping them is in a renegade Shepard's rational self interest.

Since it should be about stopping the Reapers, imo Earth should play a secondary role. It should come down to choice, but not sacrificing Earth could and should have a significant chance of overall failure.

Reapers are Reapers, not Covenant sissies which Reapers would easily eradicate.

Losing the planet your species evolved on, along with 99.7% of the population of your species, is in nobody's "rational self interest."

Unless of course you're aiming to be the single greatest failure humanity has ever produced. Congratulations? That honor is more than a little dubious.

Don't think i could burn the Earth, home and all that.

Not saying you shouldn't try, saying that its destruction should be in story

This.

Plus, Humans living away from Earth only gets us to around 1-2billion. That is hardly enough to survive off of. And with that small number, I doubt the races are going to babysit us and kiss our booboo's, so we would more than likely be picked on or shunned, making it difficult to just "start over." 

I would prefer to keep our roots with our ancestors and live among their legacy on Earth among their Pyrimids of Giza, Colussem, Wall of China, Eiffel Tower etc. sort of thing.

Losing Earth is totally pointless as to why we are playing the game in the first place. <_<

So saving earth is the premise if the entire series?

The Mass Effect series has been about advancing humanity's position on the galactic stage, so yeah it is.
