I don't know I'm a little ify on this. Yes there is a "reason" to declaw but what is it? So the cat doesn't scratch up furniture/carpet. I don't know that that reason is really any better than docking a tail because you like how it looks. Techinically they are both selfish reasons, you are not doing it for the animal but for what you want. I'm not defending docking or condemning declawing just throwing out my opinion.
