The Alien be worth the most then Humans then animals.
We already know we are more intelligent than animals. The Alien however we know very little. But should one stand before us we know it had to have travelled fro moutside our galaxy in a starship capable of lightspeed therefore the knowledge of the Aliens would be more superior to ours ... but i'd NEVER repeat that to an Alien ;)

Why do you assume that an alien being would be more intelligent than a human being? Even if they're technologically more advanced, why would you assume they were more intelligent?
P.S. We don't base the value of life on intelligence. We value human life higher because we're human, thats all. It's self-interest.

Each life can be uniquely valued, and subjectively valued. What value do I have to you? What value do I have to the economy, if I am part of it, having income and spending? What value do I have to my family? What value do I possess in relation to the fish? What value do I have to myself? What do we measure value by? Merely money, or can we base value on other things, as in gradients of qualities? Yes, that is a surprising comparison. Is it the drone that is valuable, what it is made of, the work put into it? How valuable is it to the people that are being bombed by it? Is a human more valuable than any of those values?

Human life value is a sliding scale--worth more to some -less to others- nothing to some.
To many their pets are more important than a human life..
USA has death penalty--life is cheap--for the poor.
While the wealthy can buy it..

Human life isn't really worth anything. It's humans who set their worth.

i think that an animals life should be equal to a humans life. i think life should be based on feelings and emotions not intelligence.

All life should be priceless. And why do you assume that the alien life form is more intelligent?

Sorry, words can't describe. The value of a human life is indescribable.

You can't put a price on life. No question. If I had to replace my children's lives or my own life - there would NOT be enoug money or possessions in the universe to replace them.
