X is the trait true of animals that if true of humans would justify killing humans.
I don't know what you mean. Plug in anything for X and you'll get a crazy answer
E.g. animals have lower intelligence. Is it okay to murder people with low intelligence?

Eugenics is a fun conversation.
The answer is always horrible, but informative.
