>The potential increase in IQ is so high Not really, at least with the current state of knowledge. There are very few genes where one can predict that altering them will increase intelligence.

There are hundreds, they don't need to be confidently predicted they just need to increase on average, and even if there weren't, all you need is a PGS for selection since a small predictive power is enough when iterated repeatedly.

  You can't "iterate repeatedly" in a normal human lifespan.

    A human isn't an embryo either, what's your point? You can do it every generation, and at some point 'generation' will encompass in vitro operations as well.
