Should "trait selection" (designer babies) be allowed? Sometimes? Never? Why or why not?

I think "trait selection" should be allowed sometimes. I mean too much designing is not good by sometimes. I really agree with the idea of Fukuyama which says that genetic engineering may change human nature. However, it should be done when parents really want that and they have good reasons. For example, one mather was bullied because of her color skin in one country, and she is going to continue to live there after her child's birth. Then, I think it is acceptable to make her child's skin some color exept her skin color. There must be a guarantee that her child will not bullied on he skin. According to Shannon, there is a way of thinking called Consequentialism. Who will be suffering in that case? Then, people can get the greatest number of happiness. Thus, trait selction should be allowed depending on the case.
