Описание: In 1907, Indiana passed the world's first involuntary sterilization law based on the theory of eugenics. In time, more than 30 states and a dozen foreign countries followed suit. Although the Indiana statute was later declared unconstitutional, other laws restricting immigration and regulating marriage on "eugenic" grounds were still in effect in the U.S. as late as the 1970s. A Century of Eugenics in America assesses the history of eugenics in the United States and its status in the age of the Human Genome Project. The essays explore the early support of compulsory sterilization by doctors and legislators; the implementation of eugenic schemes in Indiana, Georgia, California, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Alabama; the legal and social challenges to sterilization; and the prospects for a eugenics movement basing its claims on modern genetic science.

Описание: This book explores the socio-political implications of human heredity from the second half of the nineteenth century to the present postgenomic moment. It discusses eugenics, the modern synthesis, and epigenetics. Meloni argues that thanks to findings in epigenetics we may be witnessing a return to `soft heredity`.
The specter of early twentieth-century eugenics-with its goal of preventing the "unfit" from reproducing through forced sterilization-still haunts us in this era of genetic engineering.
Conrad B. Quintyn, an associate professor of biological anthropology at Bloomsburg University, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, calls this the new eugenics era because geneticists have begun to explore ways to prevent and repair defective genes in all humans.
In this book, he considers whether genetic engineering will exacerbate social injustices and/or lead to a public safety issue.
For instance, in 2012, virologists in the U.S. and the Netherlands genetically engineered avian (bird) flu to be more transmissible between mammals. These scientists argued that virus transmission between mammals enables us to make vaccines to prevent pandemics. They never considered what would happen if the virus accidentally escaped the laboratory.
Meanwhile, some scientists are experimenting with "designer babies," altering genes to remove diseases and even programming certain traits.
Join the author as he considers whether scientists are playing God as well as the risks we face by altering genetics in The New Eugenics.

Описание:
Latin eugenics was a scientific, cultural and political program designed to biologically empower modern European and American nations once commonly described as 'Latin', sharing genealogical, linguistic, religious, and cultural origins.
Latin Eugenics in Comparative Perspective offers a comparative, nuanced approach to eugenics as a scientific program as well as a cultural and political phenomenon. It examines the commonalities of eugenics in 'Latin' Europe and Latin America. As a program to achieve the social and political goals of modern welfare systems, Latin eugenics strongly influenced the complex relationship of the state to the individual. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources in many languages, this book offers the first history of Latin eugenics in Europe and the Americas.
