Inequalities, indeed --- @Mouloud you summarized here the way I feel about this topic in general. In a world where you can't get fair access to vaccines against a virus affecting all countries, it makes sense to assume human augmentation would lead to further inequalities between those who can access it and those who can't, even if it's merely to alleviate disease and suffering. Still, I'd like to see where science can take us on alleviating deceases: it's a matter of how well can governments and other key stakeholders react to it.
