Geneticists are a lot like experts on the brain. They don't know nearly as much as they act like they do. Even the best and the brightest geneticist can not go into a human genome and decide exactly what the resulting human will be like. the don't fully understand it all. So I am afraid they will do something that seems simple like determine hair color and accidentally effect something else.
Ok, that makes plenty of sense to be weary of such things.
I'd have to say that I agree.
