I don't have an answer as to whether or not any argument exists, but it seems to me there is little sense in looking for moral grounds or universal rational grounds. What matters is how practical that arrangement would be in a person's life and I expect that would vary from person to person based upon their own values and the values of the people they care about. That context and the practical results of a person's choices within it are what determine how rational it is.
That is to say, whether or not it's rational requires case-by-case consideration and would not be universal.
