I can understand the desire to make sure that babies are born with immunities to diseases but I struggle with the designer baby idea. If you plan out what you child is going to look like you are taking the natural process out of the equation and changing the heredity factors. The fact that many kids are born looking like they are part of that family is a good thing. Why would we want to change that? I can see that it will possibly be a popular procedure as vanity plays a big part in many peoples lives.

You answered your own question. Vanity. Most will do it just because of that alone.
But there are also some really meaningful benefits. Making babies immune to thousands of diseases even before they are born? That is something that every parent would want right?
polio is natural.
arsenic is natural.
meningitis is natural
snake-bite is natural.
