Wellspring: Genetic engineering:

Somatic cell editing:

Somatic cells can be edited without restriction, as long as the activity does not constitute a Non-Ameliorable Harmful Activity (NAHA) as defined elsewhere in this constitution.

Germ line editing:

All germ-line editing is automatically classified as being a NAHA by default and the burden of proof that it is not a NAHA rests on the entity producing the specimen. Furthemore the conagent engaging in the activity must demonstrate that all descendants of their germ-line edited specimen can be completely tracked, labeled and kept within the confines of their own private property, or of the property of the conagents to whom they sell/distribute them, beyond reasonable doubt.
