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. I imagine its primary usefulness is eliminating known genetic diseases / introducing known good genes.
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.
