What about pregnancy though? I doubt that all women would be sterilised to pave the way for completely artificial methods of reproduction. Good point you make with the last observation, I think genetics' main purpose is to improve the condition of humans to start with, not necessarily to wipe off all their natural functions and replace them with something else. Of course it can and should be used to help healthier reproduction in the earth's population, but without the dramatic sci-fi undertones that so often are associated with it.
