It seems to me that creating the pig is analogous to creating suicidal depression in a human who is not depressed.
As a starting point, a moral theory should add up to normal. I'm not saying it's an iron law (people once thought chattel slavery was morally normal). But the burden is on justifying the move away from normal.
Why don't you try to think some of the many ways in which it's NOT analogous?
