"In this excellent book, Martin Pernick has resurrected the long-forgotten story of the Bollinger baby, Haiselden, and his movie, which was entitled The Black Stork. In so doing, Pernick gives us an essential historical perspective on two pressing issues: the possible abuses of new forms of genetic technology and physician-assisted suicide....[The] book breaks important new ground....By showing how eugenics was portrayed in the media and on film,Pernick gives a much more nuanced treatment of the topic than previous authors....There is little to criticize...Clearly written and copiously referenced."--Barron H.

Synopsis
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 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. It documents the impact of 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., In the 1910s a Chicago surgeon electrified the nation by allowing the deaths of infants he diagnosed as "defectives". He publicized the cases in print and film, winning support from many prominent Americans. The Black Stork uses this newly-rediscovered story to illuminate many broader questions: how efforts to improve human heredity (eugenics) became linked with mercy killing (euthanasia) and social prejudices; how medicine influenced modern culture; and how mass culture redefined key medical concepts., 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". Seeking to publicize his efforts to eliminate the "unfit", 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. The Black Stork tells this startling story, based on newly-rediscovered sources and long-lost motion pictures, in order to illuminate many broader controversies. The books shows how efforts to improve human heredity (eugenics) became linked with mercy-killing (euthanasia) and with race, class, gender and ethnic hatreds. It documents how mass culture changed the meaning of medical concepts like "heredity" and "disease", and how medical controversies helped shape the commercial mass media. It demonstrates how cultural values influence science, and how scientific claims of objectivity have shaped modern culture. While focused on the formative years of 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.

    I can only give this seller the top accolade I can provide. He went above and beyond to make certain my book arrived in great condition after the book through no fault of his was sent to two addresses and not delivered and then was subsequently returned to the seller. His communication was excellent and kept me informed until the book arrived finally arrived at its destination. What was more amazing and much appreciated is he did not charge any additional fees for his efforts.
