It might be a bit much to say it is the core of my value system, but it is a very important part of my beliefs.

Why do I think that we are distinct from other species? No other species is truly sapient and sentient. Apes and cetaceans might be borderline cases (and thus IMO more important then other animals). Do you regard a blade of grass or a cockroach to hold the same importance as a human? If so why do you believe this?
