The ethics which we use today evolved out of practical ethics - that is to say, it’s evolved out of a need for a set of rules meant to be applied in order dictate the conduct of humans amongst one another. Because of this, I think most ethical frames of reference are ill-suited for trying to answer this question soundly.
It seems analogous to trying to apply traditional physics to a quantum reference frame. It’s outside traditional Physics’s wheelhouse. A different set of tools likely needs to be applied, which has a different starting paradigm.
That being said, your answer is really going depend on what this new ethic’s paradigm is, which is arguably completely arbitrary in this specific case.
