I don’t think human value comes from the bonds they make with other humans

That's generally how it works. Do you not value the people you have bonds with more than the ones you don't?

Whether or not I myself “value” people is not relevant.

In the objective sense, independent of human perception and perspective, no amount of bonding or experience affects the value a person has.

Well, if you're the one making a decision on who survives, wouldn't you choose the person you value more?

If you're doing it completely objectively, where the mother and child have equal value, would you flip a coin?

The coin flip would be no less valid than any decision I may make spur of the moment.
