This centers on a debate one of which happened to be around the time Oscar Pistorius sought approval to participate within the Olympic sport. The article states, “the debate over whether or not his J-shaped carbon-fiber blades give him an unfair advantage” (Rohan). However, science failed to provide statistical and concrete evidence to support their claim. Nevertheless, scientists are still not convinced which leads them to make more assumptions and develop arguments. Rohan further states, “One argument is that because the blades are so much lighter than a human leg, Pistorius can turn over, or reposition, his prosthetic legs unnaturally fast.” This again has failed to be proven even though many tests have been performed on Oscar, but each fail to answer the question of an advantage. One thing that scientists do point out is that “there is biomechanics used” (Hirons). Therefore, until there is proven data to confirm that an amputee has an advantage, one should not have their abilities to be
