Have we reached enough known intelligence genetic variants to justify IVF embryo selection by genetic testing?
Not yet. The polygenic scores can still only predict a small % of IQ variance. But that will probably keep increasing in the next few years.

Never. Each individual locus only affects intelligence to the tune of a fraction of a percent...
