Your moral framework appears to give a pass to any activities another person is capable of doing, which doesn't appear to be much of a framework at all.
In particular, it would also logically support any experimentation on live humans which could provide greater understanding than would otherwise be the case. This position was infamously held by wartime goverments in World War II and one I think most reasonable people would reject completely.
A consistent moral framework which requires minimisation of human suffering really has to expand to consider more species capable of suffering.
My moral framework requires consent from human beings as for other creatures i see no problem experimenting with them as log as we put in the best effort possible in reducing their suffering in the process.
And no my framework doesn't give pass to any activities another person is capable of doing it give pass to any activity is necessary in order to advance our understanding and in the future save more lives.
If you're going to qualify all creatures on the same level then we shouldn't be experimenting on lab rats either don't you think?
We shouldn't be killing all those malaria spreading mosquitoes either since their creatures too right?

Consent is only possible in high-functioning adult humans though. I would expect you would make the concession that 'valid consent' would exclude very young and old humans and the intellectually disabled. But they are no different in this respect to members of other species that can't (or wouldn't if capable) give their consent.
If you see no problem in inflicting suffering on another conscious being that is non-human then why is reducing their suffering even important to you? If it is important, then why isn't it as important as the suffering of a human of reduced intellectual function?

Yes, a consistent moral framework would likely agree with this sentiment, assuming consciousness and the ability to suffer is the important consideration.
> We shouldn't be killing all those malaria spreading mosquitoes either since their creatures too right?
Well that is the position of adherents of Jainism [1], but it does really depend on what test of consciousness and capability of suffering you think is necessary to meet, rather than whether something is simply a 'creature'.
In particular, it would also logically support any experimentation on live humans which could provide greater understanding than would otherwise be the case. This position was infamously held by wartime goverments in World War II and one I think most reasonable people would reject completely.
