Are you....are you suggesting that the Reapers know more about how the Universe works?
If they were real?
Than we humans?
Yes.
Were they there at the Big Bang?
Doubtful but they are much older than humanity itself and have done far more than any human thus, they are more experienced and knowledgeable.
Not to mention that their capacity to hold information far exceed ours.
The Universe functions on a cycle and will until the ultimate fate occurs. Have you ever read anything by Stephen Hawking or Carl Sagan? Do you know that the Universe functions? Hawking has argued that the Universe is indeed geared toward life, but only for a while. Eventually problems will arise and life will be wiped out regardless.
I must admit I did not. However, while I am not intimely familiar with the theories, didn't Hawking also theorize that there could exist societies capable of stopping time right before the End?
Regardless, while the end might be inevitable, why shouldn't we attempt to improve our society in the meantime?
you believe that losing what we are in a literal sense is a good thing? You are no longer human in Synthesis. Or Asari, or turian. You are the offspring of the descision of ONE person. Who has that right to make that descision. Do I? Do you? This is were the political implications set in. Do one being have the right to enforce his will on others? How can you justify this?
Perhaps the "offsprings" will no longer be humans or turians but something derived from it. However, if these new people retain what we normally consider as good; that is, free will, individuality, creativity, etc; while picking up certain improvements from Synthesis which could be anything from physical benefits like the Cerberus troops had to a new outlook on existence since the Catalyst wasn't exactly forthcoming on the results beyond "New DNA", why is this a bad thing?
And why does it matter if this originated in the decision of one single person as long as there are improvements?
