Since its foundation, the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FCM, UNC, Argentina) and its members in the design and implementation of eugenic public policies aimed at preventing depopulation and reducing infant mortality. This study describes these policies since the foundation of this institution until the outbreak of the university reform process.
A bibliographical analysis of online databases and library catalogs was performed in order to identify texts referring to child care and public health policies promoted by the FCM from 1877 to 1918. Results: 11 bibliographical references were obtained: three books, two scientific journal articles and six Thesis for the title of Doctor in Medicine and Surgery from the FCM.
A great interest in the characterization of infant mortality in Córdoba and the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding is evident in the texts analyzed. This is associated with the creation and administration of childcare health institutions, including the Children\'s Protective Clinic.
The FCM, associated to political groups in Córdoba, actively participated in the dissemination of childcare concepts (whose recipients were mainly women-mothers of low socioeconomic strata) and in the implementation of actions aimed at the population growth and the inculcation of moral values accepted by its academics.
Desde su fundación, la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (FCM, UNC, Argentina) y sus miembros participaron en el diseño y la aplicación de políticas públicas eugénicas destinadas a evitar la despoblación y disminuir la mortalidad infantil. El presente trabajo describe dichas políticas desde la fundación de dicha institución hasta el inicio del proceso de Reforma Universitaria.
Se realizó un análisis bibliográfico de bases de datos online y catálogos de bibliotecas para identificar textos referidos a políticas de puericultura y salud pública promovidas por la FCM en el período 1877 - 1918.
Se obtuvieron un total de 11 referencias bibliográficas: tres libros, dos artículos publicados en revistas científicas y seis Tesis para optar al título de Doctor en Medicina y Cirugía de la FCM. Discusión: Se evidencia en los textos analizados un gran interés en la caracterización de la mortalidad infantil en Córdoba y la promoción de la lactancia materna exclusiva. A ello se asocia la creación y administración de instituciones de salud de puericultura entre los que se destaca el Consultorio Protector de la Infancia.
La FCM, ligada a grupos políticos cordobeses, participó activamente en la difusión de los conceptos de puericultura (cuyas destinatarias eran principalmente las mujeres-madres de estratos socioeconómicos carenciados) y en la implementación de acciones tendientes al crecimiento poblacional y la inculcación de valores morales aceptados por sus académicos.

On September 27, 1922, Ernst Rüdin gave an address to the Annual Conference of the German Society of Genetics entitled \"Regarding the Heredity of Mental Disturbances.\" Published in a 37-page article, Rüdin reviewed the progress in the field of Mendelian psychiatric genetics, then hardly more than a decade old. Topics included (a) the status of Mendelian analyses of dementia praecox and manic-depressive insanity which had expanded to include two and three locus and early polygenic models and sometimes included, respectively, schizoid and cyclothymic personalities; (b) a critique of theories for the explanation of co-occurrence of different psychiatric disorders within families; and (c) a sharp methodologic critique of Davenport and Rosanoff\'s contemporary work which emphasized Rüdin\'s commitment to careful, expert phenotyping, a primary focus on well-validated psychiatric disorders and not broad spectra of putatively inter-related conditions, and an emphasis on rigorous statistical modeling as seen in his continued collaboration with Wilhelm Weinberg.

The Motherhood Protection Act (1996), which corresponds to modern family health in Japan, was enacted based on the Eugenics Protection Law (1948) for the protection of national eugenics. This leads us to the question of how maternal health and eugenics began to merge in Japan. Answer of this will elucidate the characteristics of family health in Japan and historical background. Maternal health and eugenics began to be fused in Japan in the early 20th century. In this paper, we examined Taikyō, which is the source of this fusion. This book was widely disseminated to the public. An educational book influenced the Japanese women\'s movement. Taikyō argued that from the standpoint of public health, responsibility for prenatal care should be extended to the husband, family, society and the nation. It emphasized that \"mental hygiene\" is necessary to produce a genetically good child, and that spouse selection is important. Books on prenatal care published in the first half of the 20th century, following Taikyō\'s description of prenatal care as a form of eugenics. The National Eugenic Act enacted to protect national hygiene inspired the classification of the Japanese as a chosen nation. The theory of prenatal care, which was created from the combination of public hygiene and eugenics, provided a justification for the National Eugenic Act, and this still serves as the basis for the Eugenics Protection Law and Motherhood Protection Act. It provides the \"scientific basis\" for recognizing that \"unsanitary\" and \"disability\" are bad.

This review essay critically examines Catherine Mills\'s Biopolitics (2018) and Camisha Russell\'s The Assisted Reproduction of Race (2018). Although distinct works, the centrality of race and reproduction provides a point of connection and an opening into reframing contemporary debates within bioethics and biopolitics. In reviewing these books together I hope to show how biopolitical theory and critical philosophy of race can be useful in looking at bioethical problems from a new perspective that open up different kinds of analyses, especially around historically embedded problems like institutional racism and the legacies of colonialism in healthcare.

This article documents some difficulties authors face who challenge faulty research claims published in mainstream literature. Editors of \"reputable journals\" may react with stonewalling tactics that tend to enshrine these faulty results. A case in point is the mental test literature, which has long been beset with racist myths. In 1985, Arthur Jensen added a new myth, his \"Spearman Hypothesis,\" which asserts that a positive correlation between White/Black means differences in scores on mental tests and the loadings of the first principal component confirms the existence of a general intelligence factor (\"g\"). It can be shown by mathematical and geometric deduction, by computer stimulation, and by reference to \"real data,\" including Jensen\'s own, that the assertion is unwarranted, and that the relationship Jensen observed is an artifact that has nothing to do with ethnicity or \"g.\" Nevertheless, it proved impossible for more than 12 years to record this challenge to Jensen\'s claims in any of the leading journals in psychology and statistics. Typically, their editors invoked arguments having nothing to do with the fundamental question of whether Jensen\'s claims are true or false. It is concluded that, in view of the transparent racist implications of these claims, such editorial policies--regardless of their motivations--contribute to the preservation of ethnic stereotypes and prejudice.
