ABSTRACT

This chapter considers the biotechnology and sports technology respectively to refer to those technologies deployed to meet the ends or goals of sports medicine or sports respectively. Sports medicine sits over sports science, which sits in panoramic ascendancy Moral topography in sports medicine might be about drawing out the conceptual relief and the natural and artificial aspects of the work of scientists therein. Today philosophers of science clearly distinguish theory generation and its application, though the distinction is rather lost in the natural scientific study of sport. A range of views fall under the label of transhumanism (TH). Both Prometheus and his somewhat bungling brother Epimetheus set out on Zeus' orders to fashion creatures to populate the earth. Lacking wisdom Epimetheus fails to consider what qualities are necessary as he goes about making the 'animal kingdom'. Prometheus fashions mortals in the vision of the gods.
