Very good article!
My apologies if my English doesn’t make sense( not a native speaker)

About your first point you are talking about Transhumanism (H+) by transforming the human condition and enhance the human capacities.

Yes there will be enhancements. Most people will crave for it!
Right now people who can afford it change their bodies with plastic surgery including implants. From a quick botox injection to a heavy medical surgery you will find people ready to enhance themselves.

In a world where we encourage competition and people have to become the best of the best it is inevitable.
