Yeah, this is not gene-editing though. And gene-editing will take decades to get anywhere and it costs a ton, because you have to find causal SNPs, which can be a pain in ass.This is something i plan on doing. Its not even expensive and is already out to the public albeit hidden.
Its around $10k per child, its not crisper but PGD (selecting desirable traits) .

You could, theoretically, replace entire sequences, but that also costs a lot more.
Your example is good though and this polygenic selection can happen for a number of different traits.
There are polygenic scores for height, IQ, eye-color, etc. also for health outcomes.
In fact, there is atleast one guy who already polygenically selected his child: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...s-with-best-health-odds-sparks-new-dna-debate
But he only cared about better health outcomes. The problem is that you need to save a lot of eggs and have a fertile woman (so you can get more eggs), because the pipeline from egg-harvesting to child birth is very leaky. Some eggs don't mature and die off, some don't fertilize, sometimes the embryo doesn't grow, etc. So you need a lot of eggs.
