“Surpassing human biology” is literally a form of eugenics, and it’s a slippery slope to GM and selective breeding

What I'm saying is that eugenics can be done within the constraints of nature without meddling with our DNA directly or through some other technological means. We wouldn't surpass our genetics, just optimize them. Breed out disease and defects.
What's wrong with selective breeding?

“Breeding out disease and defects” is good on the surface, but who gets to decide what is and isn’t considered a defect worthy of being bred out? You? Me? Elon Musk? How do we stop harmless mutations from being labelled as “defects” to be purged?

I don't believe in forced eugenics at all, it should be optional. The snag that hits is one of the reasons I mentioned Gattaca, the regular people will probably end up becoming de facto second class citizens to improved humans.

That is a big problem, I mean it's not just minor stuff that seems harmless. Tendencies towards things like drug addiction and violence, or mental illness, are negative traits that seem like they should be attempted to be bred out if possible, but you'd be erasing a lot of important people in history were this, just as a thought experiment, able to be applied retroactively.
We'd need to reassess what traits are truly undesirable, honestly, and we probably aren't going to be super happy with the results.
