I would find a way to save both, because I am a badass.

Now the real question is would you sacrifice the entire Quarian race (yes that includes Tali) to permanently stop the Reapers

[SandTrout]

to the OP: Yes, if there was no other way. We still have the colonies that each have a viable population, so we're not looking at absolute extinction from loosing Earth.

As to sacrificing the entire Quarian species: Yep, before sacrificing Earth, at that.

Yes. But Shepherd would be quite unpopular for it.

[Valdrane78]

Yes. There are plenty of other planets we can move to out there, earth is just a planet and there is no shame in evacuating it. I think the better question is, would you sacrifice humanity to destroy the Reapers?

[Legbiter]

By the looks of it there won't be much of humanity left to save by the time Shepard gets back to Earth. Think 70-80% writeoff of our species.

Why should I when there are other and stronger races I can throw at the Reapers instead?

I would burn Thessia, Pavalen, Sur'Kesh, Kahje, Dekuna, Khar'shan, Rannoch and Earth, and 1000 more worlds to ashes before I sacrifice any species that isn't the Batarians.  Planets are ground on which to fight for lives.

If this situation came up though, my canonShep would do it.  It'd utterly and possibly permanently destroy him, but he'd do it.  The defeat of the Reapers is that important.

Yeah, I would. As a lot of people already have stated, humans live everywhere. Of course, I would try to evacuate as many as possible, but hey, a few must die for the greater good eh? Granted, in the ME universe Earth has tons of humans (11 billion or so?) so a few might be an understatement. However, compared to the rest of the galaxy, it is a small price to pay if it can save the rest of the galaxy by somehow permanently disabling the Reapers.

That said, for the life of me I can not see how sacrificing Earth would do such a thing, not even in a videogame, so unless we have some, what do you call it here? Deux Ex machina or something like that, I doubt that it will be an option in ME3

Sidenote: Batarians will go out first

Only 11 billion? Its surprising they went with such a conservative estimate of populaiton growth over the next hundred and fifty odd years. 

http://en.wikipedia....orld_population

"Such variations give long-range predictions to 2150, ranging from population decline to 3.2 billion in the 'low scenario', to high scenarios of 24.8 billion, or soaring to 256 billion"

[Hyperion II]

Yep

[eye basher]

Sure i would sacrifice Earth but with a purpose to rub it on everyones face and use it as blackmail every time some lame ass alien ask for something we can always say ''Hey we sacrified are home world to same your lame ass so what are you gonna do for us''.

I would because I view as stopping the Reapers and the cycle of galactic genocide as more important than the fate of any single species including our own.  During the ME games the population of Earth is around 11 billion I believe.  There are trillions of people in the galaxy belonging to different advanced civilizations.  As much as I would hate to see Earth and humanity in general bite the dust I would do it to save trillions.

There are other human colonies so if they are relatively intact, then humanity will survive but they will be weak.

[Sudsaroo]

 Duh. Earth is a hell-hole right now in the ME universe anyways, aint it?

[SnowHeart1]

I'm confused. What's the alternative? Sacrifice Earth to stop the Reapers, or... everybody dies, including Earth? Not really a choice.

If the alternative is to save Earth and only force the Reapers to retreat for a few more years or a few thousand or whatever, knowing that they'll come back and you haven't completely defeat them, then I'd do that. The Council piddled around for YEARS while Shep was warning them, and the Council races need to step up and sacrifice a bit themselves. Humanity's done its part.
