The concept itself, probably not, but human application of that concept is unlikely to reach the lofty precipe it claims for itself. Even if all it;s used for is editing out hereditary infirmities or enhancing desirable traits - that will be primarily available to the wealthy, creating a two class system more thorough and complete in it;s supremacy than the disparity between the rich and the poor could ever be.
It would no longer be the haves and the have nots, but the engineered....and the rest of us. It wouldn't even have to be an issue of malicious segregation. As an employer, why would I hire a non-engineered human being? As a human being...why would I breed with one?
