They became babies when they were born with experimental modified genomes without their consent
Babies are conceived without their consent.
In case of a C-section, they are born without their consent (implying that they would rather grow up inside the womb :P (look, idk what babies think when they don't come out, but we sure aren't asking them whether they'd rather stay in there))
I would rather be asking if Dr. He had the parent's consent before modding the foetus.
Obviously the notable, unusual, unethical thing here is the non-consentual gene editing, not the mere occurence of birth
I am trying sooo hard to come up with a point without bringing up the chemical-transification of children, without their parent's approval, which has been following them being mislead by pro-trans (as in "go become trans because all your problems are your gender") evangelists.
My apologies, I didn't realize I was speaking with a lunatic.
Just with someone who remembers how easy it was to be mislead by adults, as a child.
Fair enough.
