The problem is proving that life still exists there...although really, I'm more interested in finding another Earth within viable transportation range.
It'll be hilarious to watch how long it take before we decide to conquer the planet.

What is the big issue about this egg anyway, you can't even eat it anymore. I'd rather find an egg that I could eat. Maybe that bacteria will eat all of us if it's the wrong kind, that's just a backwards way of thinking.

I dont believe anyone suggested that
The whole point is they found BACTERIA INSIDE the meteorite and not outside
Preliminary SEM/EDAX studies of the Tissint meteorite shows projections of interior spherical globules rich in C and O. Such concentrations of carbonaceous material in a matrix of mineral grains poses a mystery if biological processes are excluded. They are consistent with remnants of biological structures, thus supporting earlier similar claims for the Mars meteorite ALH84001.

There is no way to know it's from mars.
Meteorites are also known to have originated on both the moon and Mars. We have visited both worlds (the former via NASA's Apollo program in the late 1960's and early 1970's, Moon & Mars and the latter via a series of unmanned missions centered around a variety of sophisticated rovers), and, having studied ratios of stable isotopes such as oxygen-16, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18, have come to understand the signature of these parent bodies to the extent whereby we can all but absolutely connect the origin of certain meteorites to these bodies.
