That’s a very good point! Thank you for your criticism!
I chose to compare fetus suffering to chicken suffering directly because I’m very uncertain about how much an extra life lived compares to prevention of suffering in existing lives; I had a hunch that any value I assigned to additional lives lived would be pretty arbitrary, so I instead focused on the (comparatively) easy part of suffering to suffering.
I’ll make sure to add a disclaimer that this is a rough fermi estimate that makes massive simplifying assumptions.
