The key is widespread in our culture because it's not just that things like caffeine as a cognitive enhancement drug or alcohol as a mood enhancement drug. I'm actually not convinced that there are any radically new moral issues that are raised by genetic enhancements. And you might say well one thing that's new is that biomedical enhancements might become so powerful that they could actually change human nature. Well, a lot depends on what you mean by human nature here.
