You said "primary criteria" not "only criteria", is the answer to every question.

Inteligence voter here. This isnt a black and white problem. The inteligence that it has at the moment and it future possible inteligence both are at play. A fetus which has not attained sentience is lesser then a baby, but both greater then a pig.

Potential for intelligence perhaps with babies vs pigs, but beyond here lie monsters in the joys of eugenics discussions. But my calculus lies in a nexus between these, involving danger, intelligence, and value. Human DNA is meaningless. Ask a soldier, or better, ask a cop.

Dayum, I really didn't expect those results. I chose Human DNA. And I suppose we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Off the top of my head, I'd lean towards the OG Human DNA and any human sub-species. Non-human animals are resources, intelligent, suffering, or otherwise.

Beyond this, I'd lean more towards 'sapience' rather than intelligence/capacity for suffering/'sentience' as qualifier. *Sapient species*, ie humans/advanced aliens/a paper bag that magically gains sapience & is totally numb & otherwise stupid -- then that's worth considering

Question for value could be about level of abstraction of the value? E.g. cow for meat vs. elephant for tusks as a commodity
