Wouldn't it be significantly easier to just use the donor's egg here ?

Or adopt?

This feels a bit narcissistic. If you and your partner determine you have genetic traits you'd rather not have, you have the option of not having biological children.

This just feels like it's going to open Pandora's box. You and your partner are short and near sighted, edit in some height and vision.

You're partner has ethnic traits they don't want to pass on ? Just edit those out.

This feels like something that's going to start well intentioned, but snowball into very strange outcomes.

God forbid this ever comes to America's profit driven health system. The rich would have the option to edit in "better" traits. Gattica here we come
