Drug Regulation Where do we draw the line in regard to regulating the use of nutrients, stimulants and the use of enhancement drugs between youth, amateurs and professional athletes? In his essay, “Paternalism, Drugs, and the Nature of Sports,” W.M. Brown explores the nature of hard and soft paternalism in dealing with the above issues. Beyond health and safety, what ethical values might govern our regulation, oversight, and governance of stimulants, nutrients and enhancement drugs in sport? In the case of collegiate athletes, when are adults/coaches capable of making such decisions, how do you determine whether to exercise a hard or soft paternalism? How do your ethical values guide you in determining who and what to regulate? Incorporate scriptures to defend your position and to make an argument for your defense.
