But that doesn't explain why US as a government is not allowed to do human genome experimentation (HGE) ? In fact, it makes even less sense to make HGE taboo than AI for the reason you mentioned. It doesn't make sense to ban something that the average person can't do anyways, and who's gonna stop government? The situation is even worse in AI.

By your logic, if HGE is cheap and easy, then it doesn't make sense to ban it and we should just let people experiment with their to-be infants all the time. What are you gonna do? Ban something you can do with some test tubes and a needle?
