Policies governing gene transfer in sports must, therefore, be recognized as subservient to broader bio-ethical and bio-legal interests that recognize the changing role of genetics in society. The rhetoric surrounding “gene doping” relies heavily on its moral status as a form of cheating.
因此，管理体育领域基因转移的政策必须得到公众的认可，对广泛的生物伦理和生物法律利益有所帮助，并充分考虑到遗传学社会作用的变化。围绕着“基因兴奋剂”的老生常谈往往说它是某种形式的道德欺骗，但这个前提却有赖于现行的反兴奋剂规则。如果我们首先就不禁止基因转移，那么从某种意义上看，基因兴奋剂也就无所谓欺骗。
