That’s fine and all except we don’t live in a morality version of the matrix. Philosophical arguments hardly effect human behaviors at large.

Perhaps. But once the cell is fertilized there’s a large population of prolifers that beg to differ yet there is objective no intelligence at this stage of life.
Humans are not so rational as I think you’d like them to be. They also just are rather uncaring hence while this argument/PETA and so on don’t usually change anyone’s feeling towards the issue.
