Elizier claims action 1 is superior over 2, and I cannot agree.

Does Eliezer's position depend on the fact that group A is using resources that could otherwise be used by group B, or by humans?

Group B's "eliminate pain" morality itself has mind-bogglingly awful consequences if you think it through.
