A world where genetic disease can be no factor, where you don't have to roll the dice on your children getting brain cancer or leukemia before they can talk, where you can eliminate asthma, diabetes, allergy, and other genetic defects from your gene pool.
You mean a synthetic world where your makeup is pre-planned and nothing is left to chance. Probably a world where everything is sterilized and foam-padded, going outside or having children naturally is illegal for your protection. Not to mention all the horrors that transhumanism will open up.
Some tools are asking to be misused. Some tools exploit human nature. Some tools create perverse incentives. Hammers, ploughshares and clothes don't really do that.

any tool can be misused. if we discarded every misused tool, we would still be in the Stone age.

no shit, which is why I'm focused on the use. selecting to remove genetic disease is a good thing and I will never pretend it's not.
