I did answer the question. That's an extra question. Personally, I value it less than sentient life. That doesn't mean I don't value it at all.
a lot of things fall under less than sentient. A plant? you value it more than say, a cabbage?
because i'd value a cabbage more than an embryo, cabbage feeds people, embryo (if in the mum), does nothing. But embryo in a lab would be valuable.
I think the way you value an embryo is based on emotions? Because you know it has the potential to be a baby?
