We should make sure that future genetic enhancements are not limited to the rich or their children. One part is preventing them from being patented.

In addition, we need not and should not rely on private investment for development of these enhancements. The government funds a lot of medical research and it can fund this.

We won't have such treatments soon. You wouldn't want to give an embryo that will develop into a your child a treatment intended as an enhancement until its safety and efficacy have been verified. But we don't know how to verify that except by trying it. With gigantic advances in simulation of fetal development we might someday have another way.
