Download or read book The Black Stork written by Martin S. Pernick and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-04-18 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1910s Dr. Harry J. Haiselden, a prominent Chicago surgeon, electrified the nation by allowing the deaths of at least six infants he diagnosed as "defectives". He displayed the dying infants to journalists, wrote about them for the Hearst newspapers, and starred in a feature film about his crusade. Prominent Americans from Clarence Darrow to Helen Keller rallied to his support. Martin Pernick tells this captivating story--uncovering forgotten sources and long-lost motion pictures--in order to show how efforts to improve human heredity (eugenics) became linked with mercy killing, as well as with race, class, gender and ethnicity. It documents the impact of cultural values on science along with the way scientific claims of objectivity shape modern culture. While focused on early 20th century America, The Black Stork traces these issues from antiquity to the rise of Nazism, and to the "Baby Doe", "assisted suicide" and human genome initiative debates of today.
Download or read book Building a Better Race written by Wendy Kline and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005-11-21 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Building a Better Race powerfully demonstrates the centrality of eugenics during the first half of the twentieth century. Kline persuasively uncovers eugenics' unexpected centrality to modern assumptions about marriage, the family, and morality, even as late as the 1950s. The book is full of surprising connections and stories, and provides crucial new perspectives illuminating the history of eugenics, gender and normative twentieth-century sexuality."—Gail Bederman, author of Manliness and Civilization: A Cultural History of Gender and Race in the US, 1880-1917 "A strikingly fresh approach to eugenics.... Kline's work places eugenicists squarely at the center of modern reevaluations of females sexuality, sexual morality in general, changing gender roles, and modernizing family ideology. She insists that eugenic ideas had more power and were less marginal in public discourse than other historians have indicated."—Regina Morantz-Sanchez, author of Conduct Unbecoming a Woman: Medicine on Trial in Turn-of-the-Century Brooklyn

Download or read book The Eugenic Marriage written by W. Grant Hague, M. D. and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dr. Hague's book is ill named, for it deals with home-making and mother-craft primarily, rather than with eugenics - four chapters, for instance, are devoted to the evils of patent medicines. Eugenics, in the sense that the word is used by this journal, receives rather scant treatment, and what is said is often marred by exaggeration or error. Hague's statement: 'Any condition that fundamentally means race-deterioration must be rendered intolerable. The prevalent dancing crazy is an anti-eugenic institution, as is the popularity of the delicatessen store,' is hardly an extreme example of the comprehensiveness and indiscriminateness of his idea of eugenics. He has a good deal to say about sex hygiene, but it is unreliable and likely to do more harm than good. His voluminous discussion of child-birth, the care of children, and the relations of husband and wife, appears to be much sounder, so far as the reviewer is qualified to judge. It is to be regretted that this part of the book could not have been published alone, and the discussion of so-called eugenics omitted, for despite the author's enthusiasm and sincerity, he does not possess an understanding of eugenics." -The Journal of Heredity

Download or read book Better Baby Contests written by Annette K. Vance Dorey and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1999 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique campaign of scientific baby judging spread across the United States in the early years of this century. Beginning at state fairs, it spread to towns and cities of all sizes. By the movement's peak in 1913 and 1914, scientific baby contests were held at 40 state fairs and several hundred county fairs and city contests. The baby health contest identified the healthiest infants in a region, while teaching parents how breeding and environment could produce a superior crop. Then, quietly, the contests slipped into obscurity. This work traces the development of the baby health contests from their rural beginnings at agricultural fairs. Details are provided about the early instruments used for assessing infant development, the organizations and individuals behind the better babies movement, and the methods of promoting prize babies. The controversy generated by the competition for prizes is explored, as are the role of the Children's Bureau in the contests, the business aspect of the contests, and the spin-offs of the health contest idea.
Download or read book When Mortals Play God written by John Erickson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American history is full of examples of discrimination in all forms, but never before has the wreckage from America’s infatuation with eugenics and its state-sanctioned policy of hate toward the mentally ill been put in such personal terms. In this extraordinary debut book, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist John Erickson answers the questions that have long haunted an immigrant family: Why was a mother in her early twenties imprisoned and then sterilized? What caused her three children to be taken from her and placed in an orphanage that later preyed on children? What led her oldest son to commit an unspeakable act of violence? And, finally, whatever happened to her youngest son who disappeared from her life and was never seen by the family again? This is a tragic story, yet strangely an uplifting one. Because just as officials believed immorality and mental illness were as genetically linked as eye and hair color, various family members would prove them wrong. In a story that will make you seethe with anger and well with tears, When Mortals Play God shows how valuable life is, and how grit and determination can sometimes relegate evil and injustice to a back seat.
