Would all philosophy just begin and end with Aristotle, where there is an entire classification of people that are inherently slave-ish and they should enjoy their place under their patriarch?
Just saying "Everyone is happy, don't think about it" still brings up some pretty interesting ethical questions about the nature of ownership over another creature that has an intelligence equal to a human's or are, in some cases (Mewtwo, Alakazam) smarter.
