No because such devices are non-biological mechanical aids. PEDs and genetic engineering are purely biological means. I would say that it's fair to ban synthetic oxygen carriers and things like that.
- hyperbovine 9y agoWhich is no more or less arbitrary than saying that PEDs ought to be banned because they are unnatural. So it's a moral issue, not something that can be settled by logic. The question becomes, where do we draw the line? Most people seem to agree that "play the hand you're dealt in life" is acceptable.
- deepnotderp 9y agoNot really, because most PEDs have no continuous effect in the body that's synthetic, they all synthetically induce natural effects. For this reason I say that synthetic oxygen carriers should be banned, since you cannot naturally acquire that.
