  • This house believes that the International Olympic Committee should allow Caster Semenya to compete at Olympics without undergoing hormone treatment.

    Infoslide

    Caster Semenya is a South African middle-distance runner and winner of two Olympic gold medals. Semenya is classified as an athlete with differences in sex development (DSD) a disorder that naturally gives her higer levels of testoterone. Research commissioned by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) showed in 2017 that female athletes with elevated testosterone had 'a competitive advantage' claiming that high testosterone was responsible for as much as 3% improvement in runners. As a result the IAAF has ruled that all women with DSD including Semenya cannot compete in women's races from 400m to 1 mile unless they undergo treatment to reduce their blood testosterone levels. Athletes will need to do this for at least six months to become eligible then maintain that level continuously in and out of competition for future events to remain eligible. Three methods suggested by the governing body for affected athletes to reduce their blood testosterone is to take medication a monthly injection or have their testes surgically removed.

    Henrietta Lacks died in 1951, aged 31, of an aggressive cervical cancer. Months earlier, doctors at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, had taken samples of her cancerous cells while diagnosing and treating the disease. They gave some of that tissue to a researcher without Lacks’s knowledge or consent. In the laboratory, her cells turned out to have an extraordinary capacity to survive and reproduce; they were, in essence, immortal. The researcher shared them widely with other scientists, and they became a workhorse of biological research. Today, work done with HeLa cells underpins much of modern medicine; they have been involved in key discoveries in many fields, including cancer, immunology and infectious disease. One of their most recent applications has been in research for vaccines against COVID-19. Lacks was a Black woman. The hospital where her cells were collected was one of only a few that provided medical care to Black people.
