Society, and even some aspects of our medical system, are fond of the naturalistic fallacy. I wonder, if we have this much trouble in situations where the treatment simply returns someone to the base rate, how much of a reaction is there going to be in a few decades when the more directly transhuman modifications start coming online?
Returning to the base rate is cheaper and more egalitarian, so what seems like naturalistic fallacy necessarily isn’t. In a completely private health care system these things wouldn’t matter though.
