Measuring levels of sentience in the context of what's OK to do to it is an extremely dangerous road to be taking that always ends in eugenics.

Uh, what?

First you say it's OK to be cruel to one life form because it's less intelligent, it's not long before that extends to disabled people. It might sound like hyperbole, but never underestimate the internet's capacity to steer the ship towards nazi germany when given the chance.

Who said anything about intelligence?

sentient: capable of sensing or feeling : conscious of or responsive to the sensations of seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, or smelling

That has nothing to do with being disabled, as people with disabilities still sense the world
