What you should ideally do is genetically create a generation of superhuman –
push the physical and mental abilities to the max on a genetic level. Remove
any little issues. Then you need to leave them along for a few generations
before you start with the tinkering again.

Yeah this is really the kind of stuff that should scare people, not the
Singularity bollocks. If you a bit about mankind's history (going back several
thousand or several hundred thousand, depending on who you ask), you'd recall
that Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals were actually alive at the same time.
Neanderthals went extinct because Homo Sapiens had access to faster internet.
Classic case of survival of the fittest.
So we look at genetic modification, the costs, and the implications of what it
means in terms of social structure. You have a baby with bad jeans? Take him
to the tailor and they'll alter it... for a price. Genetics says their
offspring will not have that defect (a simplification, of course). You think
your baby needs more muscle? Alter the DNA. Hybrid vigour means their
offspring will probably be even stronger. And so once again you end up with 2
classes of the species Homo.
