kid would be worth more to me than not only a lab rat but also someone else's kid. I would not claim my kid is of more worth though.

I answered your question (even if you don't like the answer). I hope you'll answer the following question. If killing a lab rat hypothetically also made your kid likely to die younger, would you still want the lab rat to be killed? That's more comparable to humans eating animal meat, as all evidence I've seen indicates vegetarianism and veganism are healthier than meat eating.
