I dont disagree with any of this, genetics happens, the more we learn the more help we can give other people.
Look at the stem cell technology being investigated atm. Look how that branch of genetics is going to benefit amputies, people with severed spinal cords etc. Who are we to deny that choice to these people?
Ok so maybe it is slightly worrying to know that people can have the child they always wanted, but hang on, why is that actually bad? surely giving someone the chance to fullfill their dreams is one of the best things humans can actually do for each other.
The only time a situation like this could become horrific is if it was not guided and controled by a select panel of experts.
To put it quite simply it will not be like walking into a supermarket etc. What it will do, is eliminate things like cystic fibrosis, downs syndrome, spina bifida and a whole other range of genetic defects that DESTROY the life of the child.
