I see nothing wrong with this.

If you are worried about it causing rapid and unpredictable demographic shifts, don't ban it, just slow it down.

Do you really want the genetic heratige of humankind to be left to who has the most babies? Or would you prefer that it be that which parents think is best?

Like most things, it will drop in price to the point where nearly anyone can afford it, and probably have a period of exponential quality improvement before it plateaus out (if it doesn't we are talking singularity, which is another kettle of fish). So, I don't expect a long term "geneto/socia"l disparity problem (ie, won't be a problem for more than a few generations).

And, in the end, we'd end up with a world that is better off.
