The use of performance-enhancing technologies in sports through Nicolas Agar`s "truly human enhancement" approach
(Der Einsatz leistungssteigernder Technologien im Sport durch den "truly human enhancement"-Ansatz von Nicolas Agar)
In this paper, I will present Nicholas Agar`s "truly human enhancement" approach, which is aimed at critiquing pro-enhancement approaches that advocate for the utilization of technology to better the human condition. After identifying some limitations of Agar`s approach, I will apply it to sport in order to explore what kinds of enhancing-performance technologies should be allowed in it. In doing so, I will focus on two criteria from Agar`s account that could be deployed to determine when it would be morally condemnable to utilize performance-enhancing technologies in sport, namely intrinsic goods and veridical engagement.
