Abstract

Most closely associated with the Nazis and World War II atrocities, eugenics is sometimes described as a government-orchestrated breeding program, other times as a pseudo-science, and often as the first step leading to genocide. Less frequently it is recognized as a movement having links to the United States. But eugenics does have a history in this country, and Mark A. Largent tells that story by exploring one of its most disturbing aspects, the compulsory sterilization of more than 64,000 Americans. The book begins in the mid-nineteenth century, when American medical doctors began advocating the sterilization of citizens they deemed degenerate. By the turn of the twentieth century, physicians, biologists, and social scientists championed the cause, and lawmakers in two-thirds of the United States enacted laws that required the sterilization of various criminals, mental health patients, epileptics, and syphilitics. The movement lasted well into the latter half of the century, and Largent shows how even today the sentiments that motivated coerced sterilization persist as certain public figures advocate compulsory birth control-such as progesterone shots for male criminals or female welfare recipients-based on the same assumptions and motivations that had brought about thousands of coerced sterilizations decades ago.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Human Rights, State Sovereignty and Medical Ethics: Examining Struggles Around Coercive Sterilisation of Romani Women examines the mobilized use by people and groups of the international human rights law framework to move legal, policy and ultimately social change at national and local level. One particular case study is examined in detail: efforts by Romani women in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to secure legal remedy for coercive sterilization. International legal aspects of these cases are examined in detail. The book concludes by endeavouring to answer questions concerning the nature of international law and the evolution of the post-World War II international human rights framework, the structure of national sovereignty, and the potential impact of both on human autonomy.

Abstract

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.
