Summary

"In a provocative analysis of sport ethics and human values, Genetically Modified Athletes imagines the brave new world of sport. Examining this new ethical issue at a crucial time in its theorisation, the book questions the very cornerstone of sporting and medical ethics, asking whether sporting authorities can or even should protect sport from genetic modification." "The book brings together sport studies and bioethics to challenge our understanding of the values that define sport. Without asserting that 'anything goes' in sports performance enhancement, Genetically Modified Athletes argues that being human matters in sport, but that genetic modification does not have to challenge this capacity. Genetically Modified Athletes includes examinations of: The concept of 'good sport' and definitions of cheating, Privacy rights and using genetic data for sport, Notions of autonomy, dignity and personhood, The usefulness (or not) of the terms 'doping' and 'anti-doping'.
