Do you draw a line anywhere? Conscious life? Thinking life? Vertebrate life? .....................
I am not God and don't hold all the answers. Definitely human, animal, and plant life. As far as things like fungus and bacteria go, I really don't know. My guess is probably to some degree, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of hierarchy. Perhaps all life has inherent value but some have more than others.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
