Maybe. I actually do not believe it will be illegal.

More likely, it will be abused, come with some unforeseen consequences, and diverse.

Smarts will not be all that is attempted.

Augmentation by combining biotech with electromechanical will happen too.

There will be factions of various kinds.

Who says We will have any meaningful control over the really smart augmented people, for example? They may mature, look around at the mess and have very different ideas on how this all goes.

Should be a very interesting time.
