Human gene editing is the future. Currently, we are scared that we don't know enough so everyone is against it. I hate the idea but at some point, we'll feel like we know enough and someone will feel like there's a "good" reason to do it. Once it starts it will be hard to stop since we'll try to fix unintended consequences in the same manner. And yes, there are always unintended consequences.
Also, given the human characteristic to separate into groups. I see a future where there will be human and transhuman communities. It's not out of the realm of possibilities that there will be human vs transhuman wars.
