Bigger, Stronger, Faster... Ethics of steroids and posthumanism.
Something I had never really considered before about the progression to posthumanism would be the eventual induction of steroids and gene-doping into both normal life and professional athletics. The documentary Bigger, Stronger, Faster added a little incite about some stuff I had always kind of thought about the USOC and their drug testing policies. I am curious about what future decisions regarding gene-doping will have to say about genetically modified athletes. Will they be put into their own league? Would that constitute discrimination? If someone had a parent with modified genetic traits, such as double muscle, and inherited them would they also be discriminated against even if it wasn't their choice to be genetically modified? With the current ethos of "everyone else is doing it" that seems to be going around in pro league sports and the fact that it started with the cold war ages Olympics I can't help but feel that it's really a matter of time before we see it.
