We have a natural disgust of deformed creatures and monkeying around with natural processes for a reason.
The former premise is true only because we assume deformity = disease or genetic maladaptation, a judgement which was correct in most circumstances in the ancestral environment.
The latter premise is retarded. One of the earliest things humans did was selectively breed crops and animals for size, yield, and physical characteristics. We don't just not have an aversion, we have a predeliction for tampering with natural processes.
There's a huge difference between encouraging animals to breed that are already able to breed and forcing things to happen that biological processes specifically prevent from being possible. One is working with nature and the other is subverting it.
What biological processes exist to prevent us from choosing traits to pass on?
The only reason we can't is because reproduction is entirely chance based. Which sperm cell enters which prepared egg is absolutely random, and "choosing traits" is simply picking out precisely which pairs we want to form a zygote.
You know what, before that. How exactly do you think biology works? Do you understand how DNA is formed, how genes are expressed, how cells grow and reproduce? Because I'm not really getting the impression you are familiar with these processes, based on the statements you make.

We have biological processes that determine which egg gets released and which sperm reaches the egg but we are sidestepping all of those. Of course humans are not naturally able to extract or even see egg cells to begin with in order to do IVF. The woman has to be given hormone drugs to accept the embryo because the body is only designed to expect an embryo after a fertilization has happened within the body. There's other drugs they also take to unnaturally produce a large number of eggs. Plus sperm are not designed to survive long, especially outside the warm bodily fluids, so they have to be frozen.

Not at all. The best quality sperm is the winner. Only a few sperm if any normally make it to the egg. We don't actually know what all the necessary qualities are. You sound like the one who doesn't understand biology. I'm no expert but I have studied university courses on things like microbiology and immunology.
The "quality" of the sperm has nothing to do with it's dna payload in any monogamous society. So unless you are competing with Jamal's sloppy seconds, the DNA is just randomly selected from halves of the available chromosomes.
