DESCRIPTION:14th Annual Lehman Medical Ethics Lecture at Allegheny College\
 nFree and open to the public\n\nLisa Parker\, Ph.D.\nProfessor\, Human Gen
 etics\nDirector\, Center for Bioethics & Health Law\nDirector\, Master of 
 Arts Program in Bioethics\, University of Pittsburgh\n\nLike the use of st
 eroids or blood-doping\, the possibility of genetic enhancement to improve
  sport performance raises questions about the fairness of such enhancement
  and the goals of sport. This talk will suggest that considering these que
 stions in the athletic context can inform consideration of the demands of 
 justice in social life more generally. Given the prospect of genetic enhan
 cement\, examining our understanding of individual effort\, merit\, and de
 sert in athletics can help us think more clearly about unchosen\, undeserv
 ed inequalities and what is assumed to be their opposite — namely\, the 
 exercise and results of individual effort. Contemplating enhancement of na
 tural assets previously outside human control may reinforce recognition of
  social responsibility to intervene with regard to social advantages so as
  to support individual effort and improve individuals’ life prospects.\n
 \nThis lecture is made possible through the John W. Lehman\, M.D. Medical 
 Ethics Fund.
