If you think in the future, maybe height wont be a problem so wont be important, I dont like that. If everybody has
the same advantages, the advantages will disappear, so this world will be bored. Imagine if everybody could aspire to be as intelligent as Einstein, this would be bored and silly. But maybe discrimination could dissapear??? I dont think so, humans would create another things that could make the difference. I am just saying that ADN cant be completily changed, becuase it would create a bored world.

Imho it will be good for the shortest/tallest people.

Oh no, people would still be very different - intelligence, personality, behaviour, etc., and will still be able to suceed in whatever ways they like. But the unfair inequality will be gone, at least in regards to height. People would even still be differently tall, but just the possibility of easily changing your height to whatever you want it to be, if we assume that's gonna be possible one day, will reduce the importance people place on height. How can you not love that thought? Seriously.
Because you are talking about changing the ADN, if you do that, everybody can have the same things and success will be impossible, all we be the same, that doesnt mean that discrimination will disapppear but.......Hmmm.
What is ADN anyway?
There will always be something that people will use to bolster their status and diminish others, humans are, by nature, predisposed to hierarchical thinking.
South Korean government are clearly lying about 5'8 average.
