Human species 'may split in two'
"Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge.
The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology.
People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added.
The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures."

At least at the beginning, the tech will cost far too much for everyone to have access to. So the rich will have "uber-children" and the rest will suffer.
Even if everybody had access to the tech, people's idea of what make the best child is different from person to person. People in a cold location would want children who could handle the cold. Some cultures value free thought while others might see that it is important that their child fear god at birth.
How about a world where the tech to make uber-children is expensive, but major corporations will modify your child for free. He/She will be free of disease, live an extra-long and happy life, and want to drink Pepsi at least 5 times a day...
