HMMMM....
Well, i can't think of many pros, but I would say, that maybe, if you look at it from a twisted point of view, that as a slave, you get some security. I mean, you work and stuff, and you are needed, to some extent. So, I guess you can call being a slave, an inferior, but in the end, acceptable situation.
However, as a slave, you are transformed into something less than trash, you have no more power, your voice, dignity and ideals are taken away. You are at your master's mercy, you are a doormat, and you suffer at his will. Slavery sucks, if I were a slave, I would do everything I can to slit the master's throat.

In ancient times, a few slaves were given their freedom and an inheritance when the "owner" died.
Rarely, they were even adopted as sons when the "owner" had no use for his own sons.
Some slaves were actually well educated and were used as teachers. They were respected members of the community.

I do not know whether or not this was intended as a racial question but I was reading it in reference to the slaves of ancient Rome, where anyone could be a slave regardless of ethnicity

I'm not entirely sure there are any pros of being a slave. unless this is a racial question. cons: no freedom, being tortured, rationed food and water, and death are all cons of slavery.

I can't imagine too many good things about being a slave. If anything, it would be that your life is directed and you don't have to make decisions.
