Should gene doping in sport be accepted?
I noted in an earlier post that the Rio Olympics marks the first time that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has proactively tested for cheating, specifically for gene doping.
A recent article in New Scientist rehearses some arguments for why gene doping should simply be accepted, rather than banned and policed. I want to briefly go over those arguments here.
