      If by drugs you mean good nutrition I think they already have in some rich countries in the US. Have you seen the size of some of those basketball and american football players?

      Hi, I suppose it depends on what you mean by superhuman – I don’t think they will make us fly or have x-ray vision, but there are already drugs out there that can improve abilities such as strength (such as anabolic steroids – which have been banned in sports for giving unfair advantage). I think it very possible that drugs will also be developed to improve memories or help people to live longer.
      Hope this helps
