Описание: Pacific Colony, a Southern California institution established to care for the "feebleminded," justified the incarceration, sterilization, and forced mutilation of some of the most vulnerable members of society from the 1920s through the 1950s. Institutional records document the convergence of ableism and racism in Pacific Colony. Analyzing a vast archive, Natalie Lira reveals how political concerns over Mexican immigration--particularly ideas about the low intelligence, deviant sexuality, and inherent criminality of the "Mexican race"--shaped decisions regarding the treatment and reproductive future of Mexican-origin patients. Labaratory of Deficiency documents the ways Mexican-origin people sought out creative ways to resist institutional control and offers insight into the ways race, disability, and social deviance have been called upon to justify the confinement and reproductive constraint of certain individuals in the name of public health and progress.

Описание: Provides information on the sterilization of plastics and elastomers, enabling engineers to make optimal material choices and design decisions. This book enables engineers and scientists to select the right materials, and right sterilization method for a given product or application.
Описание: Provides a history of sterilization and what would prove to become both socially divisive and a popular form of birth control. Incorporating first-person narratives, court cases, and official records, this examines the evolution of forced sterilization of poor women, especially women of colour, in the second half of the century and contrasts it with demands for contraceptive sterilization made by white women and men.
How state welfare politics--not just concerns with race improvement--led to eugenic sterilization practices.

Between 1907 and 1937, thirty-two states legalized the sterilization of more than 63,000 Americans. In Fixing the Poor, Molly Ladd-Taylor tells the story of these state-run eugenic sterilization programs. She focuses on one such program in Minnesota, where surgical sterilization was legally voluntary and administered within a progressive child welfare system.
Tracing Minnesota's eugenics program from its conceptual origins in the 1880s to its official end in the 1970s, Ladd-Taylor argues that state sterilization policies reflected a wider variety of worldviews and political agendas than previously understood. She describes how, after 1920, people endorsed sterilization and its alternative, institutionalization, as the best way to aid dependent children without helping the undeserving poor. She also sheds new light on how the policy gained acceptance and why coerced sterilizations persisted long after eugenics lost its prestige. In Ladd-Taylor's provocative study, eugenic sterilization appears less like a deliberate effort to improve the gene pool than a complicated but sadly familiar tale of troubled families, fiscal and administrative politics, and deep-felt cultural attitudes about disability, dependency, sexuality, and gender.
Drawing on institutional and medical records, court cases, newspapers, and professional journals, Ladd-Taylor reconstructs the tragic stories of the welfare-dependent, sexually delinquent, and disabled people who were labeled feebleminded and targeted for sterilization. She chronicles the routine operation of Minnesota's three-step policy of eugenic commitment, institutionalization, and sterilization in the 1920s and 1930s and shows how surgery became the price of freedom from a state institution. Combining innovative political analysis with a compelling social history of those caught up in Minnesota's welfare system, Fixing the Poor is a powerful reinterpretation of eugenic sterilization.
Описание: In Morals and Medicine a leading Protestant theologian comes to grips with the problems of conscience raised by new advances in medical science and technology. They arise as issues at the start or making of a life, in preserving its health, and in facing its death. They are the problems of Everyman: some are new problems of conscience, such as arti

Описание: Editors Fred M. Nordhauser and Wayne P. Olson have gathered a team of 18 experts from multi-national and leading edge companies to explore the advantages and disadvantages of current sterilization technologies. They cover the theory behind the technology, the practical concerns of installation from engineering and product development perspectives, the "how to validate" concern, and the pragmatics of implementation in a manner that will satisfy the regulatory agencies. The broad range of in-depth information on numerous technologies will help readers design sterile manufacturing processes cost effectively and efficiently.
