I mean, I think it's almost a no-brainer that in 20 years embryos will get their PCSK9 gene edited for reduced LDLC. But it's a long way before editong hundreds of variants for "super babies" with an IQ of 170 and a lifespan of 130 years.

Another thing I find really weird is years-long enthusiasm regarding "iterated embryo selection". In more standard language, it's repeated selfing, each selecting for the best polygenic scores in each iteration.
Only that you end up with an entirely homozygous genome, which is probably not so great.
