The Quandry of Progress

Gene Doping
Written By Andy Miah

The Quandry of Progress2002, The Economist, by Francis Fukuyama

Fukuyama's piece in The Economist's end of the year edition describes genetic modification in sport as a key issue for the future. I make this case in GMA, particularly since sport cuts across society so broadly. It was a surpise to read this piece, though I expect that Fukuyama's involvement with the US President's Council meeting on genetic enhancement and sport had some part to play in it being seen as important.
