> Would we even realize their sentience

(Minor nitpick, but I think you meant "sapience" rather than "sentience." Sentience is something that essentially all animals on this planet have, and just means the ability to experience sensations. Sapience appears to be unique to humans (and perhaps a small number of animal species) and refers to the ability to reason.)

(while we are minor nitpicking, they have the cure, our view of their ethics might not be the same as their view of theirs)
