Where do you stand?

My topic for the first week of the blog is not so much current events, but rather a question for debate. I found it quite interesting, so I thought I would share it with the rest of you. As many of you probably read, one of my favorite works of science fiction is the webcomic Dresden Codak, by Aaron Diaz. I would like to point your attention to a mini series within the comic, entitled Hob. If you'd like to read the entire series (its about 27 pages) is starts here. However, if you'd rather skip the build-up, you can jump right into the meat of the story, which starts around page 8. But for the sake of this post having some meaning, let me paraphrase:
Time traveler have come from a distant future in which technology has evolved into a single planetary conciousness, a "mother" who humanity worried was slowly stealing both their and their world's prupose of meaning. In order to rewrite this terrible fate, they have sent Hob, a robot containing a guide post for their wormhole travel, to start recolinizing an earth in which A.I. is outlawed. However, protaganist Kimko Ross (devout robotiscist) sees the eventual extinction of humanity as inescapable step in the evolutionary process, and attempts to thwarts the time travelers attempts at destroying Hob's potential links to "mother".
Now, the content of the comic is interesting enough, but the main conflict is a topic which particularly interested me, and is in fact the question I wished to extend to you. If the trends of evolution do eventually point to the end of humanity, and life as we know it, would you fight for your existence, or resign to your genetic destiny? Now this is not suggesting that we simply die out and allow machine to take over. In the story, Kimiko is of the opinion that, as a race, we should sacrifice our humanity to integrate ourselves into the machine world. By contrast, the time travelers see a robotic existence not as a paraigm shift of our race, but a dying out, and struggle to cling to their believed superiority and purity. But what do you think?
