Your “what about plants” argument is such a worn-out trope that you must have seen it before and read a valid explanation of why it makes no sense.

Peter Singer has been writing on the topic for decades, including others. What-about-plants needs to fade away.

That's fair, but "what about animals" is to "we should not torture human brain organoids" as "what about plants" is to "we should not torture animals".

I am suffering substantially more psychic damage from being forced to watch videos of pig euthanasia at meathouses than any pig has ever suffered from being euthanized at one of those meathouses, because I have 10x the neurons as a pig and therefore e^10 more capacity for pain.
