A mobile phone can be mass produced based on one design. This is not the case with removing eggs and doing custom gene work on them, incubating them, and implanting them in a person. You are making an invalid comparison. There are no 'economies of scale' with individual procedures.

It doesn't seem like you're addressing the HGP example, which at the time, would have been an "individual procedure" as well.
