Only just. To me, it depends on the other life more than the human. If it was an alien life form that would be able to tell us huge amounts of otherwise inaccessible information about life beyond our planet, then I would value that more than the life of a human. If it was a commonal garden mammalian, I'd value it less :P If it was a small shrub, even less.
I do value animal life very highly, though. I can't in all honesty say I value it higher than human life, but I do think it's very important.
Do you value a human's life above every other life?
