i'm not sure all valuation of "life" is so relative to how evolved/intelligent/etc the "higher" race is. simply because something is "below" you, it doesn't mean it has to be worth nothing. aliens may have some higher cognitive abilities than us but that doesn't necessarily mean they would consider our ability to feel pain as completely irrelevant
