The fact that we can make that choice and even discuss it I guess.

So, our intelligence?

Just like animals, babies can't discuss these issues though. So what is stopping us from using human babies for meat production? Sure, we are all (?) grossed out by the thought, but I really see no valid argument against it.

It isnt just intelligence though is it.  It could be about compassion, empathy and the greater good.

And babies (and severely mentally disabled individuals) don't have any of that.
