Sure, who's volunteering to be the first one? For sure I won't volunteer for it :-)

The embryos I just had implanted in my surrogate are the result of eugenics. I hand picked the egg donor based on SAT. When the embryos were created, I got their 23andme reports and validated that the ones implanted had the appropriate SNPs for intelligence by cross referencing snpedia.

Almost everyone does step 1, but very few people do step 2.

Hey, I would be interested in doing the same. How hard is it?
Find a fertility clinic that partners or will partner with https://www.lifeview.com/

Select eggs/sperm and make embryos at fertility clinic.

Ship them all off to Genomic Prediction.

After you get their simplified test results, call and ask for the full report that is compatible with 23andme.

Search snpedia for keywords like intelligence, retardation, educational attainment and cross reference their existence/non-existence with the 23andme text file.

Have fertility doctor implant the embryo of your choosing.

If you have/are a female, the price is dramatically cheaper. Otherwise its about $200k (all post-tax). Embryo creation $45k, surrogacy agency fee $30k, surrogate $70k, baby delivery $25k, embryo testing $6k.

Thanks!
If it comes through rna/dna editing it will be a good evolution
