Why should one follow any particular belief under any metaphysic?

What if you are right and computers can be made conscious, is it wrong to kill computers too? In physicalism why is killing a baby more wrong than killing a computer program? Also what is definitely morally wrong in physicalism?

Physicalism doesn't dictate moral rights and wrongs, people do. You've made some connection between ethics and metaphysics that I just don't understand.
