With Logic.

"Wait! I'm not food I swear. wait wait wait hold on... If... if I’m 'Premium,' isn't my DNA too rare to just use once? Aren't I too rare to be wasted and not to mention it seems like or well perhaps it seems like you like to talk to people? Perhaps are you lonely? If you killed me you wouldn't be able to talk to me anymore right? Plus If your larvae eat my brain, you lose all that complexity forever. If you let me live, your scientists can study how I’m different maybe we can find another way. You could use what you learn from me to make ALL your future children better and still have a humale to talk to."
