Assumptions and limits
The assessment applies to this bounded statement and the cited source scopes. A source can support one relationship without validating a generation ship, and an editorial grade does not substitute for independent review or representative demonstration.
What would change this conclusion?
An independently reviewed rights framework offering equal or stronger protection against reproductive coercion, genetic abuse, disability exclusion, hereditary status, unequal care, and inaccessible information could replace this wording.
