Under what conditions should we ignore the fact that not all entities
contain equal amounts of sentience? What is the goal: to maximize the
total amount of sentience, or guarantee the existence of a minimum
amount of sentience? What is the "worth" of a sentient if not its
sentience?

A serious question.
