CONCLUSION
|
In conclusion, taking anabolic steroids
for bodybuilding is in principle different from administering HGH to individuals
with inherited dwarfism because even though, the two drugs are related,
the motivations for taking them differ. Individuals
with inherited dwarfism are at a disadvantage because they cannot produce
HGH. Therefore, they are justified in taking
HGH. Bodybuilders do have the appropriate amount
of anabolic steroids in their body, but take an extra amount. Besides the obvious unfairness of some athletes taking
anabolic steroids, and the contradiction to standard ideas of competition,
the underlying motivations for taking anabolic steroids are focused on vanity. Therefore, bodybuilders taking anabolic steroids
and individuals with inherited dwarfism who use HGH are in principle very
different.
