Whose genetic program and for what purpose? That is the key question.
When it is completely up to you, say, you want to have a renewable teeth (just new one grow if something wrong with old) and you have exact map of what nucleotide sequence responsible for and change one that responsible for growing new tooth instead old one - what is the problem? It is your decision, you do it by yourself and no corporation could insert something unintended into your DNA. You just get always perfect teeth and will never have to pay dentist. Why could it be something wrong?
I'd rather care about teeth I have so I don't learn vanity in my life and just stop caring due disposable nature of my body.
I would not mind be able to repair shit I break due being idiot, which I admittedly am, but I'd rather not mess with my stock settings.
Of course there is speculative part of "what if accident", but then, I need material to learn on and from experience, making mistakes and dealing with consequences is path to improve.
Reasonable, me, probably, too. At least to the moment I will get a full and complete documentation on every possible setting. But why make a taboo from it? Bad guys (? transgender inhumans?) don't care about your taboos and will do that in any case.

This. Older civilisation - more consequences to deal with. You will have to deal with consequences of gene editing usage. For now, you already have to deal with consequences of mRNA gene editing. And how you will fix it if you deny gene editing technology as whole?
It is not taboo for me. Let me expand a bit on what I tried to express. If I can comprehend what given process does, I can estimate by myself consequences and risk to reward ratio (if any). For example they come up with some new whatever radio or any EM based tech , say some scanning techniques (like MRI) . I have provable skillset to asses what I'm dealing with before I go for this process, without need to trust 3rd party.
Also I have a problem with trusting things like that tech for a reason. I have to assume authority or so called expert in something that may be determinal for my well-being. By doing so I unintentionally turn off drive to know it, because "there is some one doing this 4433 years and knows better". As result I'm building my understanding of reality on somebody's else word (possibly agenda).
Like ongoing genetic program wasn't enough.
