As Chris hinted at above, the problem of deliberate genetic discrimination is that it has the rather poor PR of being very close to genocide! Whilst I can see there could be health benefits, there are certainly some pretty complex moral issues to be sorted out before this idea gets anywhere. In the UK we have enough problems accepting GM crops (Frankenstein food to the tabloids), let alone people.
