  You already have people here saying shorter is a big no no!

    That’s the thing. These are personal choices and preferences make. Taller trait is an appearance prefered. Might as well also select blond hair green eyes.

      And these preferences are incredibly innate and not modulated by culture like many people have thought through the ages.

  Low predisposition to genetic diseases, good immune system / don't get sick often, not having many/any allergies, being rather smart is at least a decent signal to having any genetic portion of intelligence. The things that basically everyone would want to have if they could choose.

    Changing them to personal preferences rather than survival of the fittest does not look like evolution of winning nations.

      In what universe is having a dumb, sickly population the most rational move for having a productive nation? Seems like the individual wants and collective wants align here. You also did not ask for what genes are the most survival of the fittest / evolution of a nation, so, I did not respond with such an answer. Nothing was "changed" here.

        The universe that should not have a nation similar to what the future nation in the fox series fringe looks like.
