Genes in the future

If you really think about it, it can be kind of scary. In the future, parents can change the outcome of the child by adding or removing genes, making the child that something they want. I mean, isn't life great because of diversity. What if everyone had the same trait? How boring would it be and I think if we actually develop technologies to select personality traits or ability (i.e. musical talent or athletic talent) then many people would be the same.
When do we stop developing? Where do we draw the line to stop? Is there a such thing as too much technology? Sometimes pondering about the future bothers me and it makes me wonder what kind of world we will live in the future.
