The Black Stork: Eugenics and the Death of `Defective' Babies in American Medicine and Motion Pictures since 1915
Pernick, Martin S. (Associate Professor of History, Associate Professor of History, University of Michigan)
In the 1910s, Dr Haiselden allowed the deaths of six infants he diagnozed as "defectives". His story highlights many other controversies. The book shows how efforts to improve human heredity became linked with euthanasia and shows how mass culture changed the meaning of concepts like "heredity".
