There is no threshold. Yes, I know Yudkowsky's position, not even there.

Parents having caregivers hardly comes into it at all.

Think about it: the people who raised you are going to die slowly and perhaps painfully and you are going to see it without being able to do anything. I feel I would be very cruel by giving that future to a child I love.
