Genetically Modified Athletes
In a provocative analysis of sport ethics and human values,
Genetically Modified
Athletes
imagines the brave new world of sport. The book examines this new
ethical issue at a crucial time in its theorisation, questioning 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 under-
standing 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, and 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’.

The Ethics and Sport series aims to encourage critical reflection on the practice
of sport, and to stimulate professional evaluation and development. Each volume
explores new work relating to philosophical ethics and the social and cultural
study of ethical issues. Each is different in scope, appeal, focus and treatment
but a balance is sought between local and international focus, perennial and
contemporary issues, level of audience, teaching and research application, and
variety of practical concerns.
