Another Thought Experiment
In a recent experimental philosophy project, we posed the following question to 35 undergraduate students who were taking a remedial ethics course:
You have two chickens. One of them has superpowers (bulletproof, superstrong, eye-beams.) The other chicken has no superpowers but lays delicious eggs every morning. Which chicken would you be more likely to elect to congress? Now, which chicken would you be more like to saute in a light cream sauce? For most respondents, it’s the same chicken, which says something interesting about our moral intuitions.

Dude, everyone likes eggs and only some people like eye-beams but nobody likes a superstrong, bulletproof eye-beaming chicken on the loose.
Even if the chicken existed and got elected to congress they would just eatem up like a baby chick… sad to say but my money would be on it not surviving…lol
