This is creepy. 

US startup charging couples to ‘screen embryos for IQ’
Heliospect’s services were marketed at up to $50,000 for 100 embryos, undercover footage shows
What is genomic prediction and can embryos really be ‘screened for IQ’?

Who knows if embryos can actually be screened for IQ or if Heliospect Genomics is ripping off wealthy future parents. I read they claim it can result in a six point increase in IQ which likely would be unnoticeable.

I don't know how noticeable it would be.  This eugenics stuff never ends well.
