To be fantastically pedantic and slightly off-topic, I respectfully disagree. Only around 43% of the cells in a human body are genetically human. That’s 40 trillion or so non-human lives to 30 trillion human cells. We are proverbially legion. None of which has any bearing on the ethical point you were correctly making.

Oh yeah, I forgot I'm just a bunch of mitochondria and stuff

I wasn’t referring to organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts which have lost the ability to survive outside the cell. I was referring to the bacteria and fungi that live in the gut and on the skin, not to count nematode worms and mites etc. Good point though.
