Genetic Screening Implications by Mark Parratt https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl Made with genetically modified mind en-us 2019-05-09 08:28:47 UTC 2019-05-13 02:15:12 UTC hello@padlet.com 37174 https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/358725615 -There is a possibility in modifying the genetic characteristic of the athletic. For instance if the athletic is born without the genetic of high jump. Through genetic modification, and training, the athletic may start to adapt to the sport 
-while knowing that genetic is a factor of affecting athletics performance, through modification the gene could be changed, therefore becoming adequate to the sport ]]> 2019-05-10 01:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/358725615 https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/359190712 It could predict susceptibility to injury and reduce risk, so improve safety for an individual athlete.]]> 2019-05-12 10:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/359190712 https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/359190717 - It could be used to predict the susceptibility to injury and reduce risk, so improve safety for an individual athlete.
- It can also help to treat severe or chronic muscular skeletal injuries through providing growth factors that can rebuild tissue.
- Genetic screening/testing: The testing of DNA in order to discover genetic differences, anomalies or mutations.
- Genetic therapy: Using genes to treat or prevent disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.

- This is through genetic screening of a fetus where gene therapy can be used to rid the organism of the disease.]]> 2019-05-13 01:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/359295986 https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/359296561 - Unknown, but highly likely that gene doping will improve athletic performance.
- Gene Doping: The transfer of genes into an individual as a method for illegally enhancing athletic performance.
- A possibility for the future to improve athletic performance.
- Genetic modification/engineering/manipulation: The process of altering the genetic makeup of an organism. e.g. controlled or selective breeding of plants and animals]]> 2019-05-13 01:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/359296561 https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/359296779 - There are ethical decisions for sports organisers to make regarding participation of those athletes that have had genetic therapy.
- Ethical implications to consider for the exclusion of athletes - e.g. discrimination.
- There are also ethical implications beyond sport - e.g. employment, those who have had ‘intelligence genes’ or ‘muscle development genes’ added, those who are free from ill health or injury may be preferred by employees.]]> 2019-05-13 01:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/359296779 37174 https://padlet.com/m_parratt/ad16rgihhmsl/wish/359297035 -Genetic screening is used to predict potential injuries whereas therapy is to cure the injuries, if such situation occurs

-Gene therapy seeks to alter genes to correct genetic defects and thus prevent or cure genetic diseases.
