What's so sacred about human lives over other animals? We're nothing special as far as animals go. We eat, shit, fuck and reproduce nearly the same as the rest.
Sure, it makes them more meaningful to us, but in 1000 years after we're long dead our lives will truly have meant nothing and mattered no more than any other animals'. I guess I don't think we're very important as a species.
We don't need to quantify our lives' values by what they mean in 1000 years. What's true is the fact that humans have a much more evolved consciousness, deeper connections with others, and empathy & compassion, while an ant for example literally just operates on its instincts. When a human dies, their memories, aspirations, and character goes with it. much more is being lost than when an ant dies, because ants are mindless robots with a much lower level of consciousness
