Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Right to Be Well Born: Or Horse Breeding in Its Relation to Eugenics To the patriotic young men and women of our country, who contemplate marriage, and to the research workers in the field of eugenics, these few lines on heredity are dedicated by a horse breeder, whose experiences have taught him to realize that the rights of our unborn children are not fairly or honestly protected. Every unborn child has an inalienable right to come into the world free from disease, from hereditary ailments and from mental and physical defects. The Almighty never intended that any one man or woman should have all the attainments and all the graces, but that each child should have the right kind of inherent mental and physical abilities, which, if properly cultivated, would permit him or her to well fill the station in life to which each is destined.

Excerpt: ... itary tendency to twins on the mother's side. I have noticed, however, that the first colt of a young well matured mare of five or six years old is generally a stud colt, especially if she catches at first mating; and, if a mare aborts or loses her colt at suckling time, that the next colt is generally a stud colt. I sometimes have thought that the secretions from the cells that nourish the germ cells govern the inclinations, either male or female. When this discovery is once made, we shall have only full male and full females of the I and II combinations born, or close to them; no more "sissies," no more "tom-boys," and our vigor, as a nation, in mental and physical stamina, will be on the ascendency, provided laws are passed preventing the marriage of defectives and diseased persons. CONTRIBUTION OF HORSEMEN TO EUGENICS. To the Trotting Horsemen, more than anyone else, is due the advancement this HORSEMEN AND EUGENICS 21 country is now making in eugenics. It was Governor Lei and Stanford, owner of "Electioneer," and the great Palo Alto Farm, who placed David Starr Jordan at the head of Stanford University, with unlimited funds, to carry out his ideas on breeding and heredity. The trotting horse indutsry has in the United States and Canada, perhaps, a million or more persons financially or otherwise interested in its success. It has six or seven weekly papers entirely devoted to its interests, and in every big city there are one or more daily papers that give a column or part of a column each week to matters relating to the trotting horse. The Grand Circuit consists of about fourteen large tracks. In addition to these, there are over 900 other tracks with their smaller circuits which work independently of each other and of the Grand...

Download or read book The Ethics of the New Eugenics written by Calum MacKellar and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategies or decisions aimed at affecting, in a manner considered to be positive, the genetic heritage of a child in the context of human reproduction are increasingly being accepted in contemporary society. As a result, unnerving similarities between earlier selection ideology so central to the discredited eugenic regimes of the 20th century and those now on offer suggest that a new era of eugenics has dawned. The time is ripe, therefore, for considering and evaluating from an ethical perspective both current and future selection practices. This inter-disciplinary volume blends research from embryology, genetics, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and history. In so doing, it constructs a thorough picture of the procedures emerging from today’s reproductive developments, including a rigorous ethical argumentation concerning the possible advantages and risks related to the new eugenics.

Download or read book The Rights of the Defenseless written by Susan J. Pearson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1877, the American Humane Society was formed as the national organization for animal and child protection. Thirty years later, there were 354 anticruelty organizations chartered in the United States, nearly 200 of which were similarly invested in the welfare of both humans and animals. In The Rights of the Defenseless, Susan J. Pearson seeks to understand the institutional, cultural, legal, and political significance of the perceived bond between these two kinds of helpless creatures, and the attempts made to protect them. Unlike many of today’s humane organizations, those Pearson follows were delegated police powers to make arrests and bring cases of cruelty to animals and children before local magistrates. Those whom they prosecuted were subject to fines, jail time, and the removal of either animal or child from their possession. Pearson explores the limits of and motivation behind this power and argues that while these reformers claimed nothing more than sympathy with the helpless and a desire to protect their rights, they turned “cruelty” into a social problem, stretched government resources, and expanded the state through private associations. The first book to explore these dual organizations and their storied history, The Rights of the Defenseless will appeal broadly to reform-minded historians and social theorists alike.
Download or read book The Myth of Race written by Robert Wald Sussman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological races do not exist—and never have. This view is shared by all scientists who study variation in human populations. Yet racial prejudice and intolerance based on the myth of race remain deeply ingrained in Western society. In his powerful examination of a persistent, false, and poisonous idea, Robert Sussman explores how race emerged as a social construct from early biblical justifications to the pseudoscientific studies of today. The Myth of Race traces the origins of modern racist ideology to the Spanish Inquisition, revealing how sixteenth-century theories of racial degeneration became a crucial justification for Western imperialism and slavery. In the nineteenth century, these theories fused with Darwinism to produce the highly influential and pernicious eugenics movement. Believing that traits from cranial shape to raw intelligence were immutable, eugenicists developed hierarchies that classified certain races, especially fair-skinned “Aryans,” as superior to others. These ideologues proposed programs of intelligence testing, selective breeding, and human sterilization—policies that fed straight into Nazi genocide. Sussman examines how opponents of eugenics, guided by the German-American anthropologist Franz Boas’s new, scientifically supported concept of culture, exposed fallacies in racist thinking. Although eugenics is now widely discredited, some groups and individuals today claim a new scientific basis for old racist assumptions. Pondering the continuing influence of racist research and thought, despite all evidence to the contrary, Sussman explains why—when it comes to race—too many people still mistake bigotry for science.

Book excerpt: In an age of cloning, cyborgs, and biotechnology, the line between bodies and bytes seems to be disappearing. DataMade Flesh is the first collection to address the increasingly important links between information and embodiment, at a moment when we are routinely tempted, in the words of Donna Haraway, "to be raptured out of the bodies that matter in the lust for information," whether in the rush to complete the Human Genome Project or in the race to clone a human being.
Download or read book Quest for the Unity of Knowledge written by David Lowenthal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is unity of knowledge possible? Is it desirable? Two rival visions clash. One seeks a single way of explaining everything known and knowable about ourselves and the universe. The other champions diverse modes of understanding served by disparate kinds of evidence. Contrary views pit science against the arts and humanities. Scientists generally laud and seek convergence. Artists and humanists deplore amalgamation as a threat to humane values. These opposing perspectives flamed into hostility in the 1950s "Two Cultures" clash. They culminate today in new efforts to conjoin insights into physical nature and human culture, and new fears lest such syntheses submerge what the arts and humanities most value. This book, stemming from David Lowenthal’s inaugural Stockholm Archipelago Lectures, explores the Two Cultures quarrel’s underlying ideologies. Lowenthal shows how ingrained bias toward unity or diversity shapes major issues in education, religion, genetics, race relations, heritage governance, and environmental policy. Aimed at a general academic audience, Quest for the Unity of Knowledge especially targets those in conservation, ecology, history of ideas, museology, and heritage studies.
