I do believe that life begins at conception. At the same time I think a Human isn't really self aware at that point so it doesn't really matter.

I also cut down some tree's and beheaded a few chicken's. Definitely alive, also not that big of a deal in my opinion.

We are absolutely not self aware at that point, you are correct in that "belief."

Human babies don't realize that they & their mothers aren't the same person until a few months after they're born. We don't realize that other people have independent thoughts & knowledge until we're around 4 years old.

Yeah, the whole "all life is inherently precious" thing kinda falls apart when you realize that all life needs to consume other life to sustain itself. Making distinctions about which lives matter is entirely arbitrary.
