In theory, yes, designer modification of genes would decrease diversity since the most desirable attributes would be universally requested. We would likely end up only every now and then, if a better modification was discovered, 'upgrade' and then the next few generations will have that feature added or substituted, so while we wouldn't exactly stagnate, evolution would pretty much halt as far as nature is concerned.
So we'd probably become like the Sontarans from Doctor Who (just clones of one master blueprint), or the Kryptonians from Man of Steel (no natural births).
