RE: Genetic Modifications - A Question of Morality
I’m not really sure a human would want to create a “superhuman”, unless they were able to control him. Would he still be a “superhuman” then?

Essentially the way I understand it you will soon have the choice to modify your embryo (unborn child) and give them upgrades to intelligence, health, athletic ability and who knows what else... Technology will continue to and already has altered humanity's evolutionary path.
If our only purpose of this is to make his life better/easier, then sure. But if we wanted to somehow profit directly from it, we must keep in mind one thing - right now we are thinking in terms of human social behavior. Can we predict this “superhuman” behavior? Would a “superhuman” still have the same desires we humans do? Can we be certain that family will still be something relevant to them?
