Should we agree with Sandel that among the likely effects of human genetic enhancement will be a diminished sense of humility and solidarity?
As Dalton Conley rightly remarked, he stated the opinion that deviance or the presence of negative traits and effects in society act as glue for a given community - a common enemy.
As a lot fo things before, such as pain relief drugs, have been abused for recreational and superficial purposes. There is no estimating how far the human genetic enhancement project will go. It might go beyond its Therapeutic and recuperation purposes and hurtle towards superficial use or satiation of desires.
Like the former point, if everyone turns out to be extremely perfect there would be no glue - solidarity or humility. And as the latter point said, it would proceed towards excessive vanity and self preservation that one wouldn't bother having a sense of comradery.
