Do you think the widespread availability of human gene products, such as recombinant growth hormone, will lead to abuse in athletics? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Background:
Unfortunately, the technology and its applications are developing much faster than public policy, legislation, and social norms. The fact that we can do some things does not mean we should do them without a consensus from society. For example, should very short children receive recombinant DNA–produced growth hormone to make them average in height? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of growth hormone for this purpose in 2003 . If we accept that we can treat short children with growth hormone to increase their adult height, is it ethical to treat children of normal or above-average height to enhance their chances of becoming professional basketball or volleyball players?
