Are you sure of this? I could point to many of our technological imperfections that caused great uneasiness in their day but are now considered normal and even natural. Further I could point to the eradication of diseases which were considered scourges of God and ultimately “part of the deal” or being human. Part of being a trans-humanist is a belief that contracts can and should be written as humanity becomes more technologically advanced.
Now changing a personality through manufactured means is considered an acceptable treatment of Autism, Bi-Polar Disorder, ADHD, Depression and many others. Now the drugging of conscious agents against their will is a moral problem, but to deny that as an option seems to be to be backward, rather than forward thinking. If I was offered a pill that would render my innate biases inert I would have little hesitation in taking it. As I simulate the decision now, the only objections I can think of are social biases wondering what people would think of a person with a black belt in rationality.

Actually, with regard to autism, at least, those are fighting words.
