Did you change your mind about anything as a result of this week's reading?

I changed my mind on the impact of embryo selection on my personal reproductive plans. Bostrom gives

"five to ten years to gather the information needed for significantly effective selection among a set of IVF embryos."

That's soon enough that it's plausible I could have some of my later children using it. I wonder what the impact would be on family dynamics, especially if anything like the 20 IQ points could be realized.
