Sport, Medicine, Ethics (Hardcover, New)

The ethics of sports medicine is an important emerging area within biomedical ethics. The professionalisation of medical support services in sport and continuing debates around issues such as performance-enhancing technologies or the health and welfare of athletes mean that all practitioners in sport, as well as researchers with an interest in sports ethics, need to develop a clear understanding of the ethical aspects of the sport-medicine nexus. In this timely collection of articles, sports ethicist Mike McNamee and other leading international scholars explore the conceptual and practical issues that shape and define ethics in sports medicine. Examining central topics such as consent, confidentiality, pain, doping and genetic technology, this book establishes an important baseline for future academic and professional work in this area.
