It would be a start. So far there is nothing rational on that side at all.
I have been thinking about your response for about four days now, out of sheer surprise, simply because the premises upon which the aforesaid responses are based should seem to be self-evident to any rational person. I think the best way to answer is to say that the responses that you characterize as "aesthetics' are simply the logical conclusions that flow from certain moral presuppositions. The aforesaid responses are value judgments based on rational and moral propositions regarding the essential worth, dignity, and inalienable rights of human beings, and thus are of a different sort than, say, a subjective aesthetic value judgment regarding a piece of music.
If you wish to challenge the moral premises, or the logical conclusions that flow from such premises, please have at it.
Cordially,
