This will create “classes” between designer babies and non-designer babies. Non designer babies will encounter prejudice, not for their race but for their inferior genetic makeup. They will lose opportunities based on a chance that their defective genes will be exposed and jobs among other things are more likely to take the “optimum” candidate for something. The procedure is not cheap and not everyone will be able to afford it.
