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.
Scientifically illiterate people like you shouldn't be allowed to post here.
You know how I knew you'd be wrong before having done any research on this? Because biology is almost always rational. Everything works the way it does for a reason (usually more than one). If biologists claim the opposite (as they often do) it's almost always because they are ignorant of the reasons. Biologists are taught to be very arrogant and assume that they understand how things work but they hardly ever do. Most biologists can't recognize patterns in nature to save their life so they never grasp basic principles like the one I just explained.

You didn't even read the abstract of the paper you linked.
