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)
The Black Stork uses the story of a Chicago surgeon who, in the 1910s, allowed the deaths of infants he diagnosed as "defectives", to illuminate broader questions: how efforts to improve human heredity became linked with mercy killing and social prejudices; how medicine influenced modern culture; and how mass culture redefined medical concepts.
