I'm not sure what you're saying there. One of the big questions about 
life is how likely it is to arise. At the moment, all we know is that it 
arose at least once. It might happen easily, or Earth might be the only 
place in the entire universe where it's happened. We have no evidence to 
support one possibility or the other. Finding life on Europa that is 
fundamentally different from life on Earth would indicate that the 
probability of life evolving is quite high.

Consequently, the last thing we want to do is to contaminate Europa with 
Earth life potentially destroying forever our chance to find non-Earth 
life on Europa.
