This seems incorrect, as it's not hard to imagine a social structure supporting a wide variety of different biological/non-biological intelligences, as long as they were reasonably close to each other in morality-space. There's plenty of things at the level of biology that have no impact on morality that we'd certainly like to change.
During the process of creation of those non-biological intelligences or modification of the biological persons, the social structure would be in a flux. There will be some similarities maintained, but many changes would also be there.
According to our laws, murder is illegal, but erasure of an upload with backup till the last day would not be classified as a grave crime as much as murdering an un-backed up person. These changes would be at the social level.
