Did you even read the whole article? They pretty much covered what you just wrote, but in a more summarized format. That is why they are calling on a broad public debate, scientific research into safety, effectiveness, consequences/benefits, and a moral investigation of fairness and implications for society at large.

Edit to add: Drugs of all spectrums are here to stay. We may as well look for ways to use them in a socially responsible manner as opposed to keeping them in a black market framework.

Also, they seem to make the case that we already have unfair advantages, such as: access to computers/internet, socio-economic status, access to health and nutrition, access to tutors, access to better schools. Don't try and tell me that things are somehow fair as is. Life is unfair. Evolution is unfair. That is nature.
