Lost in your assumption is the idea that everyone will be able to afford this. Or perhaps you are assuming a massive growth in govt services?
Both Brave New World and Gattaca forsaw your scenario. Its not a good idea.
Of course everyone can't afford it. Not everyone can afford tutoring and dance classes either, yet we allow them.
And basing our ideas of what we should and should not do on movies like Gattica seems silly. Should we base our policies on the environment off of Day After Tomorrow?

Actually Brave New World was a book by Aldous Huxley in 1932....
My point is this is a terrible idea besides what books or movies exist.
What right do you have as a conservative against abortion to permanently modify the genome of the unborn?
Why is killing an unborn infant not ok, but possibly fundamentally changing them for life through genomic error (or even success) acceptable to some?
How can someone unborn give consent to change that persons dna, lineage, and all following ancestry permenantly?
