I'm assuming you're joking, but the idea of assigning ethical value based on scarcity still makes me cry.
Not only that, it makes me inclined to assert that I be designated part of the smallest conceivable category that is plausible while also lumping everyone else into groups as general as I can get away with.
I'm a special unique butterfly, leave me alone!
The fact that you can make a wrong conclusion from a position, by using bad reasoning, is not an argument against that position.
Which leads to the reductio ad absurdum "You're unique, just like everyone else."
