> It's cool and exciting that people will be able to have better children than they would have otherwise.

You know, I used to be wary of eugenics, but when you put in that light, yeah, I'm kinda tired of putting up with everyone's crap kids. If you could make them be quiet, sit still, and do as told, that would be a fantastic achievement! Oh, and maybe make them smarter, too. Ever try to actually talk to one (the newer ones are really pretty stupid)?



Genetic engineering of one's own children is not eugenics. It's not even close.

Most of my friends' children are smart. The ones not raised in the USA are generally well-behaved. Your sample size may need to be increased.
