Just like every other aspect of real life. In matters of technological development, there is nothing less relevant then either ethics or morality.

The section on "d-humans" has a lot of material on the ethical issues and the first steps being taken around the world on the "slippery slope". The website features my novel, Requiem of the Human Soul, set in the late 22nd century, when most of the world consists of genetically enhanced d-humans. There's a proposal at the UN to begin an extinction plan for the unenhanced "Primals" that still remain. There are also 4 "future articles" from publications over the next hundred years, showing how the ethical challenges of one generation become the norm for the next generation. Please let me know if you find it interesting. You may find my website, http://www.humansoul.com, interesting on the subject of the slippery slope to designer humans.
