The Black Stork:
Eugenics and the Death of ''Defective''
Babies in American Medicine and Motion Pictures Since 1915
by Martin S. Pernick
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 book 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. |
