| Resumo: | Preface: What might religion have to do with sport and the enhancement debate? -- Introduction : it's time to complicate things -- Sport and techno-science : setting the stage -- Theological reflection on sport and techno-science : creation, fall, and redemption -- Sport and religion : why the relationship matters -- The spiritual dimension of sport : flow -- Hope in the secular religion of sport -- Approaches to the sport enhancement debate -- Hope and reshaping the enhancement debate : a Christian theological reflection. "Should high-tech prosthetic limbs be permissible in elite sports competitions? Why are caffeine and altitude tents usually acceptable while some cold medications are not? What will happen as we engineer new enhancing options such as genetic modification technologies that increase muscle strength, or indivualizad nutritional genomic programs for elite athetes? The ethics debate about the use of enhancements in ellite sport is becoming increasingly complex. Yet we are not asking what relevance sports' religious dimensios has to this debate." |
