Gene doping: the next target for tomorrow's athletes?

Precision gene-editing is bringing us closer to the reality of designing select genetic traits into human embryos.

In a future where embryonic gene-editing could have a profound influence on athletic performance, what are the potential risks to individuals and communities? With considerable personal, political and economic advantages to be gained, how can we prepare for the arrival of a generation of gene-edited athletes?

In this presentation, Dr Diana Bowman asks whether there is an ethical and legally responsible path for gene-editing in sport.

Location: UNSW Roundhouse

Presented by UNSW Grand Challenges in partnership with the PLuS Alliance.
