If aliens would allow one person to tell them about our planet who should we send?

You can pick out of three persons:
1.Scientist: this man knows all about Earth, global warming and all stuff about the environment.
2.Politician: this man knows all about conflicts charisma and how to approach people.
3.Doctor:This man knows all about the human anatomy.

[b]Please do not put in your own suggestions, just pick one of the three.

Scientist. A politician would most likely get us killed, and I don't want random aliens to know our anatomy.

Probably the scientist because he could tell the aliens that our planet isn't as good as they thought and because the politician would mess up everything for money. The doctor wouldn't make any difference.

Scientist, what better to bond over than some good old physics?

I agree with d_dude here. A scientist would be best. I don't know why we would want aliens to know how our bodies work...they might get ideas and dissect us.

Scientist,
The doctor would probably provide weaknesses of us to them by telling them about us. Politicians would just steal their jewels and get us all killed.

id saz scientist. i doubt the aliens care about our fights and things like that. then again maybe they are trying to help us then the doctor would be good too. if its about preventing war between aliens and humans i think wed send a naive nice and sensitive person. ( i know you said not to put my suggestion but since i already picked one of the above i thought it would be ok)

Scientist.


Scientist,


Probably the scientist


This makes me feel so happy

I'm actually right for once

Politicians would just steal their jewels


Not to mention, offend their religion.

I agree with others, scientist would be best choice.I cant get idea what good politician could do, and what aliens care about our anatomy?So sending a scientist is best option imo.

The scientist without a doubt. The politician would get us all killed. And the doctor well, I don't see that doing us much good.

Scientist- let them know about our planet and the way things work.
Maybe we could send over the doctor and scientist to discuss several things, the politician would probably talk about stuff that I doubt aliens would care 'bout, but who knows what their interests/hobbies are.

I agree with you all, scientist all the way. A doctor would reveal too much about us, and they might get some nasty ideas... The politician would look down upon them, offend them, steal, and get us all killed... O.o

Clearly, there is an overgeneralization of the politician and a safety net around the scientist.


The politician would look down upon them, offend them, steal, and get us all killed
Politician would just get war happen
politician would mess up everything for money
politicians would just steal their jewels


What about the BAD things that a scientist can reveal to the aliens? "Hmm...this world seems to be rich with valuable resources and their technology is four-hundred years too primitive for us. We should invade their lands!"

Then the politician. I would rather him/her be a diplomat. When you're dealing with aliens, you don't screw around. Instead of discussing with aliens our world and our bodies, coupled with our lack of medicinal/technological advances, I would rather make peace and friendship with them. If the aliens have bad intentions, so be it. For the other two professions, you would be telling them our weaknesses.

Politician!
