Enhanced Games: Beyond Crippling Injuries, Gene Editing Threatens Fundamental Human Biology
The Enhanced Games, a Las Vegas-based competition founded by Australian businessman Aron D'Souza and backed by Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr., permits athletes to use FDA-approved performance-enhancing substances without conventional anti-doping rules, sparking backlash from the traditional sports world and experts. Bioethicists and physiologists warn of severe health risks like crippling injuries, cancer, and cardiovascular issues, while also expressing deep concern about the potential long-term impact of experimental gene editing technologies such as CRISPR on fundamental human biology, including heritable genetic changes.
