I hope we don't end up with some kind of master race out there. That idea didn't hold water the first time and it still doesn't.

But it didn't hold water, because the Master Race was an arbitrary race.

With technology [and the right committee <s>] we can logically determine what's good and what's not. A species without breast cancer, Parkinsons, .... etc. Who could argue? Stronger immune systems. There are GM plants that are resisant to parasites...how about GM people that are resistant to parasites. People who don't get skin cancer; this is good. Perhaps it might mean that those people have a certain type of modified skin pigmentation, but that's an incidental.
