Chapter 11 of your textbook examines the ethical debate over performance-enhanci

    Chapter 11 of your textbook examines the ethical debate over performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). While substances like anabolic steroids have invited much public comment—and criticism—other forms of performance enhancement lead to their own philosophical debates about fairness, skill, and the nature of competition.
    Task: Read Jeré Longman’s article in the New York Times entitled, “Do Nike’s New Shoes Give Runners an Unfair Advantage?” Download “Do Nike’s New Shoes Give Runners an Unfair Advantage?”The piece focuses on the Nike Vaporfly, a shoe designed to help distance runners achieve faster times by propelling them forward and returning energy more efficiently to their legs.
    Then, in a short reflection, please respond to the following questions: What arguments for/against the use of the Vaporfly do you find compelling? What criteria should be used when determining whether a technological enhancement is permissible? How much technology (if any) is too much in sport?
