How Ethical Systems Change: Eugenics, the Final Solution, Bioethics - Framing 21st Century Social Issues
Sheldon Ekland-Olson
Mandatory sterilization laws enacted in dozens of states coast-to-coast and approved by the U. S. Supreme Court formed the initial pillar for what became the Final Solution. Following WWII, there was renewed interest in a more inclusive view of social worth and the autonomy of the individual. Social movements were launched to secure broad-based revisions in civil and human rights. This book is based on a hugely popular undergraduate course taught at the University of Texas, and is ideal for those interested in science-based policy, the social construction of social worth, social problems, and social movements. This book is an excerpt from a larger text, Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Decides?, http://www.routledge.com/9780415892476/
