Just you wait: in 150 years - give or take - it will become possible to write genomes, and to write them intelligently, with understanding of what it is one is writing. Then the parents would be able to compose a child with Einstein-like brain and Michelangelo's creativity - or maybe even better. While it might still be not quite perfect [who knows where the limits are?] - it would be WAY closer to perfection than where we stand now.
