The first prevents or cures a disease. We vaccinate children without their consent, causing permanent changes to their immune system, because we know it reduces their chances of suffering illness and death. Curing Huntington's or sickle cell anemia, or removing high-risk cancer genes, seem like logical next steps. Implants that change the way we think and interpret the world are a much bigger leap. They challenge our sense of self and identity. Am I still "me" if my cognitive abilities are modified? I totally get why that's a much more uncomfortable topic.
