Some dodgy lab in some dodgy country is going to start selling embryo customization. Designer babies. Blue eyes, blonde hair, tall, athletic build, no pre-existing cancer genes, etc. And wealthy people will fly discretely on a private jet to pick out their baby and have it implanted in a surrogate.
Not if, when.
The more painful question is, what happens to the babies when the lab screws up?
