- Description
- Is gender really as straightforward as we would all like to think? What is it that makes anyone a man or woman? A female athlete is the subject of international controversy surrounding her right to compete as a woman: a pre-pubescent girl demands medical treatment to prevent the onset of female puberty: a school-age boy lives his life as a girl with his parent’s support. Questions about gender and identity are confusing and often generate controversy.More and more, stories about children “identifying” as the opposite sex, and parents allowing them to live their lives as the alternate, or even undergo medical interventions to prevent development as one gender or the other, raise questions about ethics, values, and science.This book looks at the science of gender identity and offers the personal stories of some of those affected by these questions. McCredie shows that we are far from “opposite” sexes and challenges everything you thought you knew about men and women.

- A young disciple of Bertrand Russell while at Cambridge, the first women to receive a doctor of science degree from Oxford University, Wrinch's contributions to mathematical physics, philosophy, probability theory, genetics, protein structure, and crystallography were anything but inconsequential. But Wrinch, a complicated and ultimately tragic figure, is remembered today for her much publicized feud with Linus Pauling over the molecular architecture of proteins. Pauling ultimately won that bitter battle. Yet, Senechal reminds us, some of the giants of mid-century science--including Niels Bohr, Irving Langmuir, D'Arcy Thompson, Harold Urey, and David Harker--took Wrinch's side in the feud. What accounts for her vast if now-forgotten influence?

- In scientific research on breast cancer the focus is on risk assessment and molecular genetics. The last decade has also seen a rise in health 'activism' around breast cancer. Using an ethnographic approach Sahra Gibbon examines the relationship between these parallel developments. She draws on research in both cancer genetic clinics and a breast cancer research charity. She points to a powerful social form within the so-called 'new' genetics that aligns gender with the knowledge and technologies associated with breast cancer genes, whilst also showing how the circuits of connection between people and practices in different social arenas operate in complex and non-linear ways

- Description
- In this book the authors present a detailed account of assisted reproduction, describing how this technique is applied to help infertile couples have a baby. They describe the latest technologies, placing them in their scientific and clinical settings, outlining such procedures as IVF, sperm injection techniques, egg donation, fertility preservation, single embryo transfer, and reproductive surgery.The authors also discuss fertility treatments in patients who are not infertile (such as single women or lesbians). One of the great controversies swirling around assisted reproduction is the furor over 'designer babies' (manipulating genetic material to produce babies with blue eyes or a high IQ, or of a particular sex). The authors contend that the only acceptable aim in 'designing' a baby is to insure a safe pregnancy and delivery. The book also reveals that a key challenge of fertility research is to perfect a treatment that avoids multiple pregnancy, a trend that has blighted IVF throughout its thirty-year history. Fauser and Devroey also discuss the issue of increasing age-related infertility ('the infertility epidemic') and the possible use of IVF to meet this challenge and improve birth rates. The final chapter looks to the future and proposes that the limits to assisted reproduction will be set more by ethical considerations than by scientific progress.

- Description
- In 1872, a woman published a letter titled “Are Women Animals?” in which she protested against the fact that women were not treated as fully human. In fact, their status was worse than that of animals: regulations prohibiting cruelty against dogs, horses, and cattle were significantly more punitive than laws against cruelty to women. .In this account, Joanna Bourke addresses the question of what it means to be “human” rather than “animal.” How are people excluded from political personhood? How does one become entitled to rights? The distinction between the two concepts is a blurred line, permanently under construction. If the18th century woman had been capable of looking 100 years into the future, she might have wondered about the human status of chimeras, or the ethics of stem cell research. Political disclosures and scientific advances have been re-locating the human-animal border at an alarming speed.

- In 2000, the National Human Genome Research Institute announced the completion of a ‘draft' of the human genome, the sequence information of nearly all 3 billion base pairs of DNA. Since then, interest in the hereditary basis of disease has increased considerably. In this publication, the author considers the broad implications of this development by treating ‘heredity' as both a scientific and political concept. Beginning with the argument that eugenics was an ideological project that recast the problems of industrialization as pathologies of gender, race, and class, the book traces the legacy of this ideology in contemporary practices of genomics.

- Biologist Elizabeth Blackburn (born. 1948) is a prize-winning scientist. She is renouned for groundbreaking research on telomeres, i.e. chromosome ends. She made headlines in 2004 when she was dismissed from the President's Council on Bioethics after objecting to the council's call for a moratorium on stem cell research and protesting the suppression of relevant scientific evidence. In this biography Brady tells exactly how Blackburn made her scientific discoveries. She explores Blackburn's struggle to break down barriers in an elite, male dominated profession, her role as a mentor to other women scientists, and the collaborative nature of scientific work. She also portraits the private person, who had the wisdom to hide her vast ambition beneath the guise of a sweet, well-behaved young lady.

- Turning conventional thinking about gender differences on its head, Lise Eliot issues a call to close the troubling gaps between boys and girls and help children reach their fullest potential. Drawing on years of exhaustive research and her own work in the field of neuroplasticity, Eliot argues that infant brains are so malleable that small differences at birth become amplified over time as parents, teachers, and the culture at large unwittingly reinforce gender stereotypes. By focussing on the ways in which differences emerge such prescriptive behaviours can be eradicated, and the boundaries that prevent boys and girls from achieving can be destroyed.

- Description
- This book offers an introduction and a contribution to contemporary debates on the posthuman. Digital 'second life', genetically modified food, advanced prosthetics, robotics and reproductive technologies are familiar facets of our globally linked and technologically mediated societies. This has changed the traditional distinction between the human and its others, exposing the non-naturalistic structure of the human. The book starts by exploring the extent to which a post-humanist move displaces the traditional humanistic unity of the subject. Braidotti argues that the posthuman helps us make sense of our flexible and multiple identities. Braidotti then analyzes the escalating effects of post-anthropocentric thought, which encompass not only other species, but also the sustainability of our planet as a whole. The Posthuman concludes by considering the implications of these shifts for the institutional practice of the humanities. Braidotti outlines new forms of cosmopolitan neo-humanism that emerge from the spectrum of post-colonial and race studies, as well as gender analysis and environmentalism.

- Prenatal screening for genetic disorders is becoming an increasingly widespread phenomenon across the globe. With a focus on the experiences of both women and men, this text offers an account of the gendered nature of prenatal screening.Drawing on interview data with pregnant women and their male partners in a UK city, Reed provides an analysis of maternal and paternal roles in prenatal screening. Through this analysis, the book raises important issues around genetics, gender and screening practice. With a focus on the gendered production of ‘good' and ‘bad' genes, the book explores differences between visual technologies and blood screening. It also explores the gendered nature of genetic responsibility and the impact this has on parenting roles.

- Der Band enthält ausgewählte Beiträge der 10. Schweizerischen Historikerinnentagung des Jahres 2000, die an der Universität Freiburg i. Ü. stattfand. Alle Beiträge beinhalten eine Auseinandersetzung der Geschlechterforschung mit Wissen und Wissenschaft. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie sich Wissen und Wissenschaft, soziale Ordnung und Geschlechterbeziehungen gegenseitig strukturieren. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt des Sammelbandes konzentriert sich auf das Verhältnis von Geschlecht und Wissenschaft. Die feministische Kritik zeigt auf, dass die vermeintlich wissenschaftliche Objektivität eine in hohem Masse durch den «männlichen» Blick verzerrte ist. Gleichzeitig stellt sie die Möglichkeit von Objektivität überhaupt in Frage. Postmoderne Wissenschaftsforscherinnen verwerfen die Idee einer wertneutralen, objektiven und universalgültigen Forschung, indem sie die Situiertheit von Wissensproduktion offenlegen und propagieren.

- Description
- In this book Konner traces the arc of evolution to explain the relationships between women and men. He explores the question of whether men are necessary in the biological destiny of the human race. He draws on multiple examples from the natural world and argues that maleness in humans is hardly necessary to the survival of the species.Konner sheds light on our biologically different identities, while noting the poignant exceptions that challenge the male/female divide. We meet hunter-gatherers such as those in Botswana, whose culture gave women a prominent place, invented the working mother, and respected women’s voices around the fire. Recent human history has upset this balance, as a dense world of war fostered extreme male dominance. But our species has been recovering over the past two centuries, and an unstoppable move toward equality is afoot. It will not be the end of men, but it will be the end of male supremacy and a better, wiser world for women and men alike.

- Description
- In dit boek legt de auteur uit waarom vrouwen genetisch gezien zegevieren op gebieden als veerkracht, intellect en weerstand. Vrouwen leven langer dan mannen. Ze hebben een sterker immuunsysteem. Ze zijn beter bestand tegen kanker en uithongering, en zien de wereld zelfs in meer kleuren. Daarnaast pleit hij voor een nieuwe aanpak in de geneeskunde , een waarin vrouwen niet langer op de achtergrond blijven maar eindelijk centraal komen te staan.
