I feel like you're trying to say we should care about "memetic life" as well as... other life. But the parallel you draw seems flawed: an individual of any race and sex is still recognizably conscious, and an individual. Do we care about non-sentient life, memetic or otherwise? Should we care?
I don't know about 'should' - but many humans do act as though they care about their favoured memes.
Catholicism, Islam, patriotism - there are many memes that are literally 'to die for'.
