Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Martin S. Pernick (Associate Professor of History, Associate Professor of History, University of Michigan), Oxford University Press Inc. 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". He displayed the dying infants to journalists, wrote about them for the Hearst newspapers, and starred in a feature film about his crusade. Prominent Americans from Clarence Darrow to Helen Keller rallied to his support. Martin Pernick tells this captivating story--uncovering forgotten sources andlong-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. It documents the impactof cultural values on science along with the way scientific claims of objectivity shape modern culture. While focused on early 20th century America, The Black Stork traces these issues from antiquity to the rise of Nazism, and to the "Baby Doe", "assisted suicide" and human genome initiative debates of today.

"The practice of even the most learned professions in early America was a harsh and grim business. Educators wielded the switch with fervor and regularity. Jurists sentenced criminals to the gallows or the lash. And in the field of medicine physicians bled, blistered, and purged, while dentists and surgeons operated on screaming, struggling patients. The need to inflict great pain pervaded and shaped professional life. By the mid-nineteenth, however, a series of social and technological changes made it possible to soften some of the more brutal aspects of professional practice. Martin S. Pernick brilliantly portrays that new frontier in a revealing look at nineteenth century medicine." From the library Dr. Owen Hannaway. Hannaway was director of the Center for the History and Philosophy of Science at Johns Hopkins University. He authored numerous books and served as an editor of academic magazines in the history of science. Partial list of publications: Chemists and the Word: The Didactic Origins of Chemistry (1975); Observation, Experiment, and Hypothesis in Modern Physical Science (1985); The Evolution of Technology (1989); Science and the Practice of Medicine in the Nineteenth Century (1994); and The Foundations of Modern Science in the Middle Ages: Their Religious, Institutional and Intellectual Contexts (1996).
