This implies that just being alive and not how you are alive is all that
matters.
If it's the case that living a full life in natural circumstances (for
your species) and partaking of the social activities and milestones of
life that make for a contented life is what life is all about, and that
a thousand lives with these is preferable to millions of lives without
these, then your point does not hold.
Would you argue that a human advocate should be in favor of aliens
raising a quadrillion human beings in cages is better than the life our
mere billions have now?
