<br/><br/> "The book brings together sport studies and bioethics to challenge our understanding of the values that define sport. Without asserting that 'anything goes' in sports performance enhancement, it argues that being human matters in sport, but that genetic modification does not have to challenge this capacity."--BOOK JACKET.
