High impact information on Eugenics

  • The objective of this study was to identify future lawyers' and physicians' views on eugenics and genetic testing for HD [1].
  • Commonsense as applied to eugenics: response to Testart and Sèle [2].
  • Troy Duster, Backdoor to Eugenics [3].
  • Ryan and John Montgomery Cooper engaged in a process that Sander Gilman and Nancy Leys Stepan call "recontextualization," whereby they challenged the social and scientific basis for eugenics policy initiatives while constantly urging American eugenicists to rid their movement of racial and class prejudice [4].
  • In the 1940s, Lionel Penrose employed the case of PKU to demonstrate what was wrong with eugenics [5].
 

Associations of Eugenics with chemical compounds

  • Medicine, eugenics, and the Supreme Court: from coercive sterilization to reproductive freedom [6].
 

Gene context of Eugenics

  • Anarchists for health: Spanish Anarchism and health reform in the 1930s. Part I: Anarchism, neo-malthusianism, eugenics and concepts of health [7].
  • Race and class in Fritz Lenz's eugenics [8].
  • The eugenics record office at Cold Spring Harbor, 1910-1940: an essay in institutional history [9].
  • Although many in the scientific community are understandably reluctant to revisit the abuses of the past, that community must confront the history of eugenics as a necessary antidote to the genetic hype that surrounds us [10].
  • Women and eugenics in Britain: the case of Mary Scharlieb, Elizabeth Sloan Chesser, and Stella Browne [11].
