unlocking more eggs increases the effects of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis
Eggs are the main limitation in terms of genetic selection at the moment. Increasing eggs to arbitrary means you can "roll the dice" endlessly on character creation until you get something almost impossible naturally.
Think, top 1/100000 of potential babies every time.
The future normal genetic pipeline is
Selection -> Editing -> Implantation
This massively improves selection (editing is currently identity function)
Everyone who is bearish on genetics and saying how hard it is, is stupid beyond belief. To give an update on how we are currently 100% eugenic. PGD (implantation screening) is legal in USA and done worldwide. With just this improvement of endless eggs to test it reaches near arbitrary selection ability nearly on par with editing. Meaning even if you could do 100 crispr edits without a problem, selection would out perform it. This is settled already. Right now the limit of around 10 eggs is the biggest barrier, with arbitrary eggs there is literally nothing left in the way.
Selection is as good or better than editing (think rolling the dice over and over and over at character creation). We pure eugenics now.
