Is it better to be human?

It depends on what you consider better. Animals don't pollute or damage the Earth like humans do. They don't get abortions, drop bombs, or go on killing sprees.

Likewise, space aliens do not leave such an impact on the world either. Maybe they don't exist, or if they do, they know to keep a low footprint. If they do indeed exist, they may have superior technology to ours, or, then again, it could be about the same as ours, more or less.

So whether we are better than animals is subjective, and whether there are lifeforms on other worlds that surpass ours is currently unknown.

There is also the ethics of asking this. We have said that racism is not acceptable, and thus, in saying that, it is not a stretch to expand that to xenophobia and speciesism in general.
