I can’t see any problems here. It’s not like there’s a famous novel about why this is a terrible idea or a movie about it with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.

Never mind that genetics can’t reliably predict IQ. The important thing is that IQ can’t reliably predict intelligence.
IQIntelligence is colloquial and subjective. It can’t be objectively measured anymore than beauty or since of humor.IQ depends on their only being one kind of underlying intelligence.
IQ hews to cultural categories in defiance of biology and genetics.
IQ is your performance on an IQ test. It’s not subjective at all, for the same reason that SAT math scores are not subjective.
The real question is whether SAT scores and/or IQ scores have anything to do with what we consider “intelligence”.
Yeah its a stupid thing to filter for. Looking for genetic diseases and such. I get it. Trying to looks for mental or athletic prowess likely is not going to work. Of course the same rich folk who do this will have tutors/trainers and arrange their whole life around whatever thing they want them good and low and behold they will be good at it and tell their friends how it was because of the genetic selection.
