The slippery slope argument usually advanced involves what happens when technology improves and allows bigger single-generation deltas for the existing economic elite.

But, in any case, many people find the idea that the less-genetically-fortunate should suffer to avoid “holding back” genetic superiors to be morally repugnant even when dealing with natural variations, much less when dealing with advantages available only to offspring of pre-existing economic elites.
