During the first half of the twentieth century, supporters of the eugenics movement offered an image of a racially transformed America by curtailing the reproduction of "unfit" members of society. Through institutionalization, compulsory sterilization, the restriction of immigration and marriages, and other methods, eugenicists promised to improve the population-a policy agenda that was embraced by many leading intellectuals and public figures. But Catholic activists and thinkers across the United States opposed many of these measures, asserting that "every man, even a lunatic, is an image of God, not a mere animal." In An Image of God, Sharon Leon examines the efforts of American Catholics to thwart eugenic policies, illuminating the ways in which Catholic thought transformed the public conversation about individual rights, the role of the state, and the intersections of race, community, and family. Through an examination of the broader questions raised in this debate, Leon casts new light on major issues that remain central in American political life today: the institution of marriage, the role of government, and the separation of church and state. This is essential reading in the history of religion, science, politics, and human rights.

Who was the scientific progenitor of eugenic thought? Amir Teicher challenges the preoccupation with Darwin's eugenic legacy by uncovering the extent to which Gregor Mendel's theory of heredity became crucial in the formation - and radicalization - of eugenic ideas. Through a compelling analysis of the entrenchment of genetic thinking in the social and political policies in Germany between 1900 and 1948, Teicher exposes how Mendelian heredity became saturated with cultural meaning, fed racial anxieties, reshaped the ideal of the purification of the German national body and ultimately defined eugenic programs. Drawing on scientific manuscripts and memoirs, bureaucratic correspondence, court records, school notebooks and Hitler's table talk as well as popular plays and films, Social Mendelism presents a new paradigm for understanding links between genetics and racism, and between biological and social thought.

Karl Bonhoeffer war einer der bedeutendsten deutschen Neurologen und Psychiater des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein Sohn, der Theologe Dietrich Bonhoeffer, beteiligte sich in seinen letzten Lebensjahren am Widerstand gegen das NS-Regime und wurde 1945 hingerichtet. Uwe Gerrens untersucht, wie der Mediziner und der Theologe auf das nationalsozialistische Programm der Zwangssterilisation und die so genannte Euthanasie reagierten. Anhand der Quellen wird deutlich, wie der Mediziner Karl Bonhoeffer als Vorsitzender des Deutschen Vereins für Psychiatrie und Klinikleiter in der Charité Verantwortung für seine Patienten übernahm und sich an deren Persönlichkeitsrechten orientierte. Der Theologe Dietrich Bonhoeffer setzte sich in einer dicht geschriebenen "Ethik" mit dieser Problematik auseinander und entwickelte eine Theorie der Verantwortungsethik und der Menschenrechte.
