The performance-enhancing drug is to do with
gene-doping. Gene-doping is an outgrowth of gene therapy. But, instead of
injecting DNA to a person’s body for a damage or missing gene, gene-doping
involves injecting DNA for the purpose of enhancing the athlete’s performance.
These whole processes become athletes with more power and they feel more
confident with the work that they are doing. In order to all this, society
should accept and promote that athletes take drugs in order to complete in
high-level competitions such as the Olympics.
Gene-doping
has a lot of advantages, but also, there is a huge number of people that
disagree with this performance-enhancing drugs. For example, all the staff
related to the Olympics game, which few years ago agreed that this drug is
dangerous and it has serious complications in the athlete’s body. There are
many cases of people that now are in poor health because of this. And also
there is a minority, people that have vast experience in terms of athletes that
are totally against this performance because they think that it’s not natural and
safe, and because it doesn’t represent what the athlete is.
However,
scientists have said that these drugs build up the strength of the athletes,
with a lot of exercise and a good diet. In the last Olympics game, many
athletes won because of these drugs, and they yet haven’t had side effects. A
lot of them grew up doing this, but others have even gave up doing it. Those
who carry on using these drugs feel really happy and proud, although they
mention that taking part of is more important than winning.
All
things considered, it will be fair enough that the society accepts and promotes
this performance-enhancing. It’s their choice and their body. The Olympics
staff should get down to drugs because it’s a very controversial topic, and
rethink about drugs. In my opinion it’s the best invention, but only for
athletes of high-level competitions. Let’s face it, we are in a different era
and we all should be open minded.
