The idea of human worth is something I've personally come to consider a selfish idea. What makes our lives worth more than the animals we kill for food, or the flies and spiders we casually kill around our houses? The typical argument would probably be because we are more intelligent, more sentient or something along those lines, but those concepts are only considered valuable by humans. Of course, the real reason we value ourselves above other animals is simply an instinctual desire to preserve our own species. Other animals also have this innate desire, and there is nothing wrong with it. But I think people would be better off simply accepting our own nature rather than trying to make excuses as to why we're somehow objectively more valuable than another species.
