All moral judgements around suffering are only applicable to humans and things that share a common-enough ancestor with humans. It's not really for you to decide whether a hunk of silicon is "suffering". You may as well draw a frowny face on a piece of paper and recoil in horror at your creation of suffering.

>All moral judgements around suffering are only applicable to humans and things that share a common-enough ancestor with humans 200 years ago people were making the same argument you're making now about why "subhuman" races deserved to be slaves and their suffering shouldn't bother us.

  But they were “subhuman” or in other words still human based but less then. Silicone is not human nor subhuman.
