Description:

This text establishes a critical dialogue between sports ethicists and bioethicists across the range of sporting disciplines at elite level.

Synopsis:

The book aims to establish a critical dialogue between sports ethicists and bioethicists across the range of sporting disciplines at elite level. It will address questions such as: * are the increasingly intrusive testing methods of elite sports compatible with the right to autonomy and privacy granted to patients in general medicine? * could there be a moral obligation to correct injustices produced by the genetic lottery? * how should the goals of sports medicine be viewed from the perspective of rationing scarce health care resources? This book was published as a special issue in Sport, Ethics and Philosophy.
