In a productive society, it is LOGICAL not to upset that society by killing off potentially productive members, illiciting emotional responses from members, etc. Morals to some extent are based on logic, as far as humanity is concerned. Existance of any species is not furthered by killing it off. This is another arguement altogether though

The very concept of valuing a productive society is not logical. Logic is used in morality to derive complex values from basic values, but the basic values themselves cannot be justified logically. Humanity uses rationality as a method to pursue irrational goals.
