But... what "compelling reason" do we have for not killing a new born baby, or a 20 year old man? Why should I be forced to suffer from my neighbours bad taste in music? Why not kill the SOB?
The new born baby is not being an unwanted parasite in anyone's body. If he is, however, unwanted by the parents, then other people could take care of him instead.
As for the neighbour who keeps bugging you with his music, you have several options to handle this without you having to kill him. Plus, why kill a sentient being over something trivial that you could avoid? Cover your ears if you don't like the music, or go out and have a breath of fresh air. If he has the music turned on late at night, then call the cops and let them know about this.

I disagree. I can find compelling reasons for why one should not smoke, for example.

As a fetus, you wouldn't have been conscious enough to give a damn. You were just a fetus.
