Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 This book is the product of a one-year project conducted by the Hastings Center, Institute of Society, Ethics and the Life Sciences, during 1976-1977. The Behavior Control Research Group-an ongoing, interdisciplinary working group com posed of philosophers, psychiatrists, psychologists, social sci entists, and lawyers-met four times over the course of the year with special consultants with expertise in the field of mental retardation. At those meetings, participants gave in formal presentations, which were followed by group discus sion. As the project progressed, formal papers were delivered and subjected to further critical commentary. This volume, in two related parts, represents the deliberations of the group as a whole, and then offers individual papers prepared by some scholars in order to give a sense of the kind of specific arguments on which the general conclusions were based. We undertook the project to examine: (1) questions of competence and consent; and (2) the practical implications, lThe project, entitled "Ethical Issues in the Care and Treatment of the Mildly Mentally Retarded," was supported by the EVI5T program of the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 05576-14793.

Download or read book Equal Treatment for People with Mental Retardation written by Martha A. Field and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaging in sex, becoming parents, raising children: these are among the most personal decisions we make, and for people with mental retardation, these decisions are consistently challenged, regulated, and outlawed. This book is a comprehensive study of the American legal doctrines and social policies, past and present, that have governed procreation and parenting by persons with mental retardation. It argues persuasively that people with retardation should have legal authority to make their own decisions. Despite the progress of the normalization movement, which has moved so many people with mental retardation into the mainstream since the 1960s, negative myths about reproduction and child rearing among this population persist. Martha Field and Valerie Sanchez trace these prejudices to the eugenics movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They show how misperceptions have led to inconsistent and discriminatory outcomes when third parties seek to make birth control or parenting decisions for people with mental retardation. They also explore the effect of these decisions on those they purport to protect. Detailed, thorough, and just, their book is a sustained argument for reform of the legal practices and social policies it describes.

Book Synopsis Mental Retardation in America by : Steven Noll
Download or read book Mental Retardation in America written by Steven Noll and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2004-02 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expressions "idiot, you idiot, you're an idiot, don't be an idiot," and the like are generally interpreted as momentary insults. But, they are also expressions that represent an old, if unstable, history. Beginning with an examination of the early nineteenth century labeling of mental retardation as "idiocy," to what we call developmental, intellectual, or learning disabilities, Mental Retardation in America chronicles the history of mental retardation, its treatment and labeling, and its representations and ramifications within the changing economic, social, and political context of America. Mental Retardation in America includes essays with a wide range of authors who approach the problems of retardation from many differing points of view. This work is divided into five sections, each following in chronological order the major changes in the treatment of people classified as retarded. Exploring historical issues, as well as current public policy concerns, Mental Retardation in America covers topics ranging from representations of the mentally disabled as social burdens and social menaces; Freudian inspired ideas of adjustment and adaptation; the relationship between community care and institutional treatment; historical events, such as the Buck v. Bell decision, which upheld the opinion on eugenic sterilization; the evolution of the disability rights movement; and the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access handbook, the first of its kind, provides a comprehensive and carefully curated multidisciplinary and genre-spanning view of the state of the field of Critical Menstruation Studies, opening up new directions in research and advocacy. It is animated by the central question: ‘“what new lines of inquiry are possible when we center our attention on menstrual health and politics across the life course?” The chapters—diverse in content, form and perspective—establish Critical Menstruation Studies as a potent lens that reveals, complicates and unpacks inequalities across biological, social, cultural and historical dimensions. This handbook is an unmatched resource for researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and activists new to and already familiar with the field as it rapidly develops and expands.

Book Synopsis Procreative Liberty by : Naira Roland Matevosyan
Download or read book Procreative Liberty written by Naira Roland Matevosyan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book raises questions about the legacy of eugenics in contemporary state of reproductive health law - linking the past to recent developments in population control. It presents a comprehensive etiological classification of mental illnesses stratified for the genotype (autosomal-dominant, autosomal-recessive, x-linked and y-linked transmissions; triplet repeat disorders, exon and intron mutations), behavioral phenotype, post-traumatic reactions, spatial orientations, histone disorders, and acquired comorbidity. Based on the advanced directives, seminal precedents, statutory codes and constitutional articles on "personhood" and reproductive choices, it augments a platform for further systematic analysis of holdings on procreative liberty. As such, the nature, corresponding laws, dispositions, certiori, or obiter dicta of the holdings at the Appellate, Supreme or Circuit Courts are randomly identified through WestLaw or LexisNexis(TM) using multiple keywords or Shepard's symbols, and are combined to produce pooled odds ratio according to the Mantel–Haenszel method. A variety of demographic, societal, clinical, and behavioral determinants (age, gender, ethnicity, income, the degree of mental retardation, criminal history, existing property disputes) are modeled as process variables to explain the cause–outcome relationships. Dispositions are used as units of calculations and as linear functions exposed to the claims.Of the total 52 adjudications reviewed, 40 (76.9%) concern to the mentally incompetent individuals (minors or sui juris adults) and 12 (23.1%) healthy inmates of the states prisons, employees of hazardous industries, and ethnic minorities. Of the 40 individuals defined as mentally incompetent, 87.5% suffer various degrees of congenital cognitive deficits, and 12.5% have acquired mental illness after the brain damage either in a car accident or intrapartum - during the traumatic birth. The mean age is 20.78 years in females, and 30.25 years in males. A substantial portion of the holding (46.3%) concerns to the minors at the mean age of 12.9 years (matters of Relf v. Weinberger, M.K.R, AL v. GRH, DD, S.C.E, Nilsson, Marcia R., Ruby v. Massey, Hayes, Cook v. State, Penny N., Hudson v. Hudson, Avery v. County of Burke, Wentzel v. Montgomery General Hospital, and AW). California is the leading state for the number of adjudications on procreative liberty matters, followed by Alabama, Indiana, North Carolina, and New York. Parens patriae (state, parental) petitions for the tubal ligation or hysterectomy are denied in 33 cases (68.8%) pursuant to the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment (24.2%), statutory codes or articles (63.6%), and preceding case law (87.8%). Petitions for sterilizing females are granted in 15 cases (31.2%) under the statutory penal codes and case laws, and concern to the persons with congenital mental retardation (average I.Q. 62.5, range 50-72). Only 13.3% of these petitions are submitted by the state authorities. All vasectomy petitions are denied and reasoned under the 5th and 14th Amendments, state-constitutional jurisprudence, state penal codes, and precedents. The case law is instructive with respect to which arguments had not been advanced. Poisson regression reveals substantial correlations between the female gender, the degree of the mental impairment, and the court orders to approve petitions for permanent sterilization (r2 = 0.724, and r2 = 802, correspondingly). No significant associations are found between the age of the subjects and the court orders (r2 = 0. 356). A century-cut analysis indicates the 1973-1983 as the hottest decade for the legal disputes on procreation in the United States. The contributing events and policies are discussed.
