Fritz Jahr and Bioethics of Sport - Two Distinctive Implications.

Even though Bioethics of Sport was acknowledged as a branch of Philosophy of Sport only recently (MacNamee&Morgan, 2015), it has quickly become one of the most vibrant and important within the field. However, until now it was considered almost only in terms of medicine and biotechnology (Miah, 2016 ; Camporesi&MacNamee, 2018) covering the range of topics such as doping, gender, disabilities, cyborgization, transhumanism, genetics and sports medicine. In this paper, I will propose a different perspective within the bioethics of sport, through the bioethical lenses of Fritz Jahr, inventor of bioethics already in 1926 and the first to introduce the name Bioethics (Bio-Ethik). More precisely, I will lean on his ‘bioethical imperative’ which states: ‘respect every living being as an end in itself, and treat it, if possible, as such’ (Jahr, 1926) and show two distinctive implications for the philosophy and bio-ethics of sport within two highly neglected areas of animals in sport (Jahr, 1927, 1928), and ecology and environment (Jahr, 1926, 1927).
