Synopsis:

Advances in genetics and related biotechnologies are having a profound effect on sport and raising important ethical questions. Drawing on real case studies and grounded in rigorous science and an ethical critique of current practice and developments, this book explores the intersection of genetics, ethics and sport. It introduces key terms such as gene doping, gene therapy and eugenics, and explores issues such as the genetic basis of sport performance and the role of genetic testing in talent development. Distinguishing feasible scientific scenarios from science fiction, this is fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in the ethics of sport, bioethics or sport performance.
