Good movie, but according to these plots, it was better to be handicapped in 1023 than it is 2023. Let's say genetic engineering assisted human evolution became a reality and enhanced humans pretty much dominated exciting things like space exploration. To be more ethical, participation could be selected by neutral merit tests, but in practice enhancement would still end up as a dominating factor. So what? I would still rather go on vacation to Mars on a spaceship built by enhanced folks than not go at all. Just like I am not realistically smart enough to make a new vaccine in a year, but I still enjoy not dying of the diseases. If genetic engineering is available to all parents and has no adverse side effects, why treat it differently from prenatal vitamins or hiring tutors in school? Some people will choose to go without genetic engineering, or vitamins, or vaccines and that's fine - they can find their own unique role in society and we all benefit of having a control group for our various experiments. Tons of valuable science only exists because of Amish, and the later seem to be perfectly happy to live their own way, and if someone are unhappy we don't stop them from leaving.
