The way I see it is that genetics should only be altered to prevent diseases from forming and to (this a personal irrelevant interest) invent and introduce new and unique appearances into the gene pool (If that is at all possible.)
Something like new colors in eyes or hair, or something simple like that.
It should never be used to change/edit/manipulate a persons physical or mental capabilities and personal limits. Doing so will only cause horrible and strict restrictions on the freedom of people. (For example, getting certain jobs or achieving certain goals, and things like that).
What I mean by that is no:
-Height manipulation
-Strength manipulation
-Mental manipulation
-Gender manipulation
Or anything else like that that could cause someone to have any pre-set advantages over someone else or throw off the balance of society. Simply visual appearances should be allowed to be fixed or augmented.
