Wow, quite the fatalistic attitude I see here. ^_^

All joking aside, I would prefer not to have humanity's millenniums of knowledge-seeking, krogans' millenniums of struggle with their inner violent nature, salarians' ceaseless efforts to be productive despite the limitations of their lifespans, etc., to all be wiped out because the Reapers decided organics didn't deserve the brighter future everyone's going through so much suffering and misery trying to create. It's sort of like if I devoted myself to working on a crafts project for months, repeatedly hammering my own fingers when I made mistakes, I'd rather not have the finished project wiped out because of some jerk species' desire to create the apocalypse.

I wouldn't want to "survive" the Reapers; I'd want them gone so they wouldn't kill everyone I ever cared about and made their goals impossible to achieve.

The Reapers are synthetic/organic hybrids. That means they aren't gods despite Sovereign and Harbinger's boasting; they're made of physical and chemical matter like everything else. So what *I* would do is to try to use the galaxy's resources to create a substance that could take the Reapers apart at the molecular level, after first figuring out what exactly they're made of at their most basic level. Do they mostly have circuits, or binary code, etc.? Then an electromagnetic pulse should take care of that. Or maybe they mostly have enzymes and single-or-multi-celled organisms, so if that were true then perhaps it's possible to poison them. My strategy would obviously differ depending on what we found out about the first question, what are the Reapers made of.
