Physically, I don't think there'll be any limits. That is to say, any kind of body enhancement or modification will probably be acceptable in the far future.
I think its the metaphysical aspects that people will be more concerned about. For instance, if we can improve the human body to the point where we're immortal... should that be allowed? Or what about the brain, since we equate mind to soul... should we allow 'brainwashing' procedures, medical procedures to excise bad memories, change their behavior and personality, "improve their mind"? It sounds creepy to me, but who knows if some people might want it in the future?

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
