- A Science News article (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/nobel-prize-winner-david-baltimore-crispr-babies-ban) was shared in which Nobel laureate David Baltimore argues that a global ban on CRISPR babies is unworkable.  
- Participants criticized a WHO bioethics panel proposal for a mandatory global registry of gene-edited humans, enforced by journals refusing to publish unregistered work, noting the absence of any discussion of privacy or future political misuse.  
- The feasibility of detecting edited genomes was questioned—“how would you even know a genome is edited?”—highlighting the technical and enforcement challenges of such a registry.  
- A distinction between scientists and engineers was quoted from the Edison Tech Center (http://edisontechcenter.org/ArcLamps.html): scientists can use handmade prototypes for experiments, whereas engineers must deliver reliable, mass-producible products.  
- Anne Corwin (felisroboticus) was mentioned as a possible technically engaged member of Humanity Plus after being found reverse-engineering microscope power supplies and posting on IEET, though her actual involvement remains uncertain.
