> Given this knowledge, the realistic way to improve human cognition would be widely available (perhaps state-sponsored) voluntary embryo selection[2] for intelligence. Embryo selection via PGS is already being applied[3][4][5] as an optional procedure in IVF, so there is no technical risk, the only impediment for now is simply social inertia, politics....
The statement that a nation-wide state-sponsored embryo selection based on polygenic risk scoring for intelligence carries no risk is patently false.
Suggesting that the only impediment is "social inertia" and "politics" is intentional misinformation.
