Depends a lot on the details of the constructivism! E.g. it could be that *our* (or anyone's) valuing sentient lives in general is enough to make such lives valuable. So I don't see that constructivism per se forces you in any particular direction here. I'd think it should more come down to which first-order moral verdicts you find most plausible on their merits.
