The problem here isn't the world "inherent," but the word "value." Strictly speaking, nothing has "inherent value." Value is completely subjective. What has great value to one being will have little or no value to another; it is the same with life. Some people value animal life above humans. Some value humans more than animals. Some hold them in the same regard. We value our own lives because we wish to survive; we value the lives of others because we are empathetic, social creatures. People who don't place an acceptable value on human life tend to not be valued themselves by human society, so there are obvious, objective advantages to placing value on human life if you plan on living around and dealing with other humans, but the answer to your question is no. Human life does not have inherent value because nothing does. Value is determined by the being who holds it.
