1) Harm to future generations and unknown risks: Germline edits (changes passed to children) could have unforeseen medical side effects or ecological/genetic impacts that cannot be undone, and future persons cannot consent to those changes.

2) Social justice and discrimination: Genetic enhancements could be available only to the wealthy, creating greater inequality and “designer baby” markets; they could also foster new forms of discrimination or revive eugenic attitudes about which traits are desirable.
