I think the main concern here is that it looks like the technology involved COULD be used for manipulating the physical attributes of a baby. I realise that is theoretical though.

See that's the thing, my understanding is that the only part of this technology that could be used for manipulating the attributes of a baby is the detection of what genes are present and the implantation of embryoes into a womb.
No part of it could be used in actually changing the genes in any way.
