It is kinda cheating when we are the only ones with sentients.

We have only been around (let alone dominant) for a tiny fraction of time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth.
But yes, our competitive advantage - our brain - allows for some wicked hax in the game of life.
Also, when you say a doctor is worth more than a murderer, you (likemost people) are subconsciously applying a specific criteria for worth: decency, value to society, etc. And that's fine, so long as you recognize that some odd agents can have a different criteria.
What about you as an agent, what do you think? Is a doctor's life worth more than that of a murderer?

The way I see it, nobody is really "worth" anything apart from what they do in the realm of human beings. By and large we all just fuck things up on an ecological level, and aside from the meanings and values we have created we are pretty worthless, and usually more detrimental than anything.
