@Laura_k_Duffy @AaronBergman18 Good question. However, we didn’t see a way around this problem given the many uncertainties about assessing both sentience and welfare ranges, and anyway not adjusting for sentience would leave us with even higher welfare range estimates.

@JMichelleLavery @SarahJBaert @AileenMacLellan @Bee_Bytes has lots of good thoughts on this stuff. Let’s put something on the calendar.

@birchlse His work on IBE had a huge influence on my thinking in graduate school. I reread his book so many times.
