it's as if could actually avoid going down that road, the fruit is too juicy... who can stop army from creating/amending super soldiers? military is well known for disregard on basic human rights in the name of greater good or whatever. same goes for private military contractors. boundaries are anyway extremely blurry, what I consider ridiculous and unethical would other couple consider as giving extra hand to their incoming baby in a very competitive world. one country bans it, but it doesn't prevent its neighbour to have more permissive laws for certain cases. just look at the private banking, or assisted suicide travelling. Gattaca showed this future rather nicely. the thing is, from perspective of the generation when change happens, things might look harsh & horrible in more than one instance. from perspective of augmented civilization looking back 500 years ago on the "age of big leap forward", we will look like a bunch of incompetent, useless and fragile primitives. not so sure what to think about that...
