I get the impression that Crispr would be possibly faster for that than the gamete selection option, but slower than the 'find modal genome digitally, print it out to DNA' option.

The price of synthesing DNA is at the moment at ~1 dollar/basepair. Given the size of a human genome it's to expensive to find the modal genome digitally and print it out the DNA.

Right, it's not that practical now, but I estimate it will be in ~10 years.
