Since without access to that facility, how would you otherwise know which other adaptations are vital to continuation?

So with our power so great What do we search for now And whereabouts do we search for it And with what and with who and how And with our endless searching Occasionally we find A different type of living Experiences sublime Come this way to the answer 6 billion people scream But we needn't follow The answer must be seen. A poem I wrote, hope you like it:

Nothing to offer, am I still hungry? —- A poem by Nicholas Morrison

I understand the love of technology,
A wonder, a beauty of mind,
To which the world is employed
An endless quest to find.

So with our power so great
What do we search for now
And whereabouts do we search for it
And with what and with who and how

And with our endless searching
Occasionally we find
A different type of living
Experiences sublime

Come this way to the answer
6 billion people scream
But we needn’t follow
The answer must be seen.

The first generation of people born this way will most likely be bullied. So the things that seemingly make them better at surviving will be balanced out by the social problems faced by these poor individuals at school. Those experiences damage self esteem. The kids whose parents couldn't afford this will be the meanest. Parents always want their children to turn out a certain way, but the child usually suffers under this pressure and rebels. If a parent had these choices for their child, I don't think it would be as great as this guy makes it sound. People are social creatures and that needs to be carefully addressed by leading psychologists first. Being different is hard.
