Biotechnology In Sports

In recent years, The Biotechnology has become one of the most significant inventions in the world. Just the other day in the newspaper there was a report of a case of the brain-computer interface technology. This kind of technique can let the paralysis patient control the mechanical arm and can feed by them. According to the report, we already have the robot that can be controlled by code, there has never before been a published report of a case of a human can control robot. The Biotechnology is also used in the sports area. The Athletic and Cognitive Enhancement is one of the biggest issues in the past fifty years. Many athlete today seem to be stronger and better than the twenty century. We tend to believe that the Biotechnology plays a decisive

Pistorius was born without some of the leg bones, so he must uses prosthetic legs which can help him to attend the game. Unexpectedly, he run so much faster in the 2008 Beijing Olympic game and broke the record. After he made this magnificent feat. There were some experts that made some testings on his artificial leg and came to a conclusion. They said his leg is so much lighter than normal people leg and he could save 25% energy after he finish the 400 meter. This case has raised many ethical problems. There is a diversity of opinion about whether such a invention is right or wrong. Someone worry that this kind of technique will be abused because they are unethical, but some people think these techniques are very useful and they can use in many area. I will begin with a description of the process and this case. Then I will look at some of the arguments about whether it is true. Finally, it will draw some conclusion about whether we believe

the author and others argue that with the right kinds of safeguards the Biotechnology would be just as ethically acceptable as the brain-computer interface. And the author said “In terms of liberty, defenders of biotechnology will argue that individuals have a right to do whatever they want to their own bodies, a right to enhance their performance, a right to use technology to choose their own offspring, and a right to find ways to profit and benefit from technology so long as they do not hurt other people. ”(Barbara 480) The arguments of professor seem reasonable. I especially agree with him that people have right to do what they want to do if they do not hurt other people. Just like the “blade runner”. If he do not use the high technology leg, he cannot break the paralympic world records. In the other hand, the biotechnology could change our world. It can make the impossible possible. More deeply, the biotechnology is giant progress on human
