Will it be acceptable if parents ask for it?

The Origin of Species was published by Charles Darwin in 1859, which postulated that animals evolve by the natural selection of traits which give an advantage in the fight for survival, so that these traits pass on into succeeding generations while others die out. This is most beautifully illustrated in how some animals have developed extremely toxic poisons even as their prey have developed resistance to them. "In 1883, Francis Galton, Charles Darwin's lesser known half-cousin, decided to take his famous relative's ideas to the next level," wrote Rahul Matthan. "Galton believed that if nature could achieve such remarkable results through natural selection, the same could be used to improve humankind." "He called the process eugenics..." This had support of thinkers of the time, such as HG Wells, and some states in the US passed laws to allow sterilisation of men and women suffering from certain diseases, and for criminals. Passing judgement in Buck v Bell, Supreme Court Judge, Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote,"It is better for all the world that instead of waiting to execute a degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit for continuing their kind." The Nazis took 'eugenics' to mean elimination of anyone they considered to be inferior and this led to the establishment of death camps. Eugenics is now a dirty word but sex offenders are offered chemical castration, and if you cannot have sex you cannot have children. Today there is a way to modify the human genome easily and cheaply. It is only natural that parents will want to make their babies more intelligent, more beautiful and more physically athletic through gene modification. Which was the original intention of eugenics, as proposed by Galton. This is leading to all kinds of strange rules. While calling for abortion of female fetuses to be made illegal, couples are allowed to choose the gender of their child through genetic selection at the time of conception. Britain is considering a law to allow people to choose their own gender. That would be great fun for men to ogle women in female changing rooms by claiming that they are women. Will white people ask for blonde, blue-eyed children, while blacks ask for blacker children? On the other hand, skin lightening is practised by some 70% of African ladies. So will black people opt for white children? If everyone becomes white will that end racism? People feel comfortable with their own kind so they congregate together. Will genetic eugenics get rid of racial differences, or make them worse?
