If enhancement is viewed as bringing an advantage
the mindset of many will be to hobble that advantage
through taxation, restrictions of various kinds, or
using coercive means to provide those advantages
to others at no cost or a reduced cost.
 
Coercion against enhancement is the more immediate
issue.
