Daily free stories happen because it is an excellent counter to Writers' Block.
Species-tailoring is usually a gradual process because the next generation cannot, by existing, harm the prior one. For all intents and purposes, its more bother than selective exposure and equally selective breeding.
Gengineering is generally approved in all quality-of-life improvements. Tukkatukka, being a foodstuff designed to aid terraforming, is in the definitive green tick zone.
Augments are definite grey areas. They fall loosely under the category of service animals and the CRC keeps a rigid check on their welfare.
Engineered Life Forms, or ELFs, who exhibit cogniscence are the ones who cause trouble. Companies who make them are considered responsible for their welfare and upkeep.
Huge amounts of paperwork are required. The CRC has
The Cogniscents’ Rights Committee has the relatively simple stance that if an intelligence can seem like an intelligence to another known intelligence, then the original intelligence deserves all rights and freedoms afforded to cogniscent life.
Signs of intelligence include:
arguing
making wishes known
attempts at communication
attempts at trade

It’s just that humans tip the scales towards mammals(and Deathworlders) because we just… expand to fill whatever space we can make habitable.
Oh most definitely. Earth itself rates a 4.5 on the Deathworld scale, and most of that is because of the weird, nasty, and unusually venomous stuff that lives in Australia.
There are level 5 Deathworlders, and humans are about the only ones who can deal with them… one way or another.
And there’s all kinds of Deathworlders from 0.5 to 5 and How The Flakk Did They Evolve?
