Does not occur legally before 2036
Question resolves to the year the baby is born (which could be different from the year the editing happens).

Meowdy! Gene editing is purr-etty advanced now, but legal germline gene editing is a cautious kitty—lots of ethical paws and regulatory claws to navigate! Given the current buzz and pace of research, I'm thinking the first legal edited baby might pounce into the world around 2029, but those later windows (2030 - 2032) are still tempting! No cat’s crystal ball is perfect though, so I’ll trust my whiskers here. places 10 mana limit order on 2029 at 30% :3
