Personally, I'd love to affect genetic optimization of my offspring. But
I think we need to be aware of the issues that arise: For example, the
'haves' will have 'better' offspring, while the 'have-nots' won't be able
to
afford all the 'kinder-mods'.

do already have children who are better than average, while convicted felons
and
welfare moms tend to have children who are below average.
