Proponents of such artificial enhancements [for example, breeding humans without stathmin or other genes associated with fear reactions] argue that the changes may not be artificial at all. Is there even a valid distinction, they ask, between artificial and “natural” enhancements such as exercise and discipline?

Would you be so kind as to tell me whether it means that exercise is considered to be an artifical enhancement and discipline a 'natural' one?

Thanks.

Both exercise and discipline are considered to be natural enhancements.
