As far as I'm concerned, human self-modification is guaranteed happen to at least a subset of our species. All you need is a cult to begin genetically re-engineering themselves or their children towards the creation of some ideologically perfect human form. Even a wacky cult of three people can later apply cloning to breed legions of Novo Sapiens.
Giving even maximum credit to the government's abilities to crackdown on these sorts of activities, how long can they enforce the status quo? 25 years? 10,000?
It's a very real prospect that mankind may diverge into separate breeds through artificial selection in the same way as dogs. Speciation on the basis of vast genetic differences could occur -- within even a single generation -- to render interbreeding between distinct sets of humans an impossibility.
And that's not even touching on the Homo Machinus folks...
