When families disagree about genetic enhancement for children

My teenage daughter wants to get genetic modifications for enhanced athleticism and my spouse thinks we should support her choice while I'm terrified we're crossing a line we can't uncross. We're supposed to decide together as a family but every conversation turns into my spouse and daughter against me and I don't know if I'm being protective or just afraid of change.
