Public protective‑allele catalog

A curated, public list of human 'protective' genetic variants (with effects and harms) lowers the barrier for consumer embryo selection, DIY gene edits, and commercial enhancement markets by turning scattered literature into an actionable reference. Making such inventories public changes who can act on genetic enhancement (clinics, startups, parents, biohackers) and what regulation or safeguards are needed. — The existence and circulation of a concrete catalog reframes genomic enhancement from speculative ethics to an operational, regulable market and biosafety problem.
