Agreed, the ability to custom engineer a person is dystopian, but a more limited version of that may become necessary If some environmental factor or vaccines or some other event renders humanity incapable of reproduction, which is a scenario explored in the movie Children of Men. You might also advocate for women where childbirth is impossible or carries a high risk that it would provide a way for them to to create biological children of their own. I have no idea about the precise mechanisms that generate distinct DNA from a child from parental chromosomes, but I will assume AI can be fed enough results from parental and child DNA tests for it to generate some routine on its own that can take a set of parental input DNA and spit out a resultant child DNA sequence.
We shouldn't, even if we could. That is some seriously dystopian shit.
