Thank you for the feedback, MichaelStJules! I added all of your ideas to my todo list.
I definitely should have added probability of sentience to the model. I looked at Brian Tomasik’s model which included sentience multipliers and I have read the OPP report you linked so I don’t know why I didn’t consider it.
Jason Schukraft’s “Differences in the Intensity of Valenced Experience across Species” was great and I will be happy to study his other research. Thank you for linking to it.
I wish I was aware of kbog’s post before I started. I managed to find multiple analyses of suffering but I didn’t know someone had already devised a combined model!
