Is it unreasonable to think that more people should give up procreating and just raise apes, instead?

It might be a much nicer world were we to see apes walking around with their guardians in the street, signing away, taking care of their own pets (cats and dogs).

I know some people who should never have procreated. But they might have been fine guardians of apes.

For one thing, the fact that apes could kill an irrational guardian suggests that the guardians would likely be less irrational than they are with their children.

I generally am unimpressed with arguments for animal rights (except of a very limited sort), but rights for the apes seem to make sense to me.
