Actually, as discussed in a separate thread elsewhere on this forum, the parity explanation might have more to do with this than panspermia does;

Note that I personally don't dismiss all forms of panspermia, especially lithopanspermia within planetary systems (and perhaps between member stars of a cluster) but that process, even if widespread, wouldn't explain the handedness of molecules in space.
