The Black Stork Eugenics and the Death of "Defective" Babies in American Medicine and Motion Pictures Since 1915
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Oxford Univ Pr
- Publish date: 04/01/1999
Description:
In the late 1910s, Dr. Harry J. Haiselden, a prominent Chicago surgeon, electrified the nation by allowing the deaths of at least six infants he diagnosed as "defectives." Martin Pernick tells this captivating story -- uncovering forgotten sources and long-lost motion pictures -- in order to show how efforts to improve human heredity (eugenics) became linked with mercy killing, as well as with race, class, gender and ethnicity.
