In a world where genetics dictate almost everything (your height, face, IQ, health risks, personality, social outcomes, dating success, career ceiling) reproducing "naturally" is straight up gambling with your kid's QOL.
You roll the dice on your own mediocre DNA mix and they get whatever random recombination comes out. The vast majority loses. Below average or even average genes means hardcore mode.
But if genetics are the main driver for QOL and twin studies prove they explain most differences then optimizing your children's genes is not optional. It is mandatory if you care about giving them the best shot. Your kids are literally an extension of your genetic lineage. Letting them inherit subpar traits when you can upgrade their genetic potential is illogical.
Pay for elite egg donors , do IVF, create multiple embryos, then screen and select the winners for IQ, height, eye color, disease risk, etc.
It is not perfect yet. Polygenic scores only capture part of heritability but it is significant and will only improve.
Competition is coming. Get ahead or get left behind. Rich tech elites are already using advanced IVF and related genetic tech. Some have funded companies in this space. As scores improve GWAS datasets growing massively gains will increase over time. In upcoming years unoptimized kids will be competing against genetically selected ones for jobs, mates, status. Natural conception will be for those who cannot afford the upgrade.
Your children inherit your legacy.
This won't be cheap. You will need well over 100K. You can always freeze your sperm during your most fertile years if acquiring sufficient funds takes too long. But if you could ever afford it not doing it is irrational. Moneymax now or watch your genetic lineage go extinct.
