在这篇文章中,我提供历史,法理学,以及对针对非裔美国人的种族优生运动的道德分析,美洲原住民,西班牙裔美国女性。我认为非洲裔美国人,美洲原住民,西班牙裔美国妇女在美国历史上的一个时期被绝育,当时医生为卫生部工作,教育,和福利,印度卫生服务,和医疗补助从事强迫和强迫绝育而不受惩罚。因此,黑人和布朗妇女没有受到法律的平等保护,也没有不受阻碍地诉诸法院。因此,他们几乎没有选择保护自己免受伤害或纠正对国家的不满。由于这些原因,我得出的结论是,非洲裔美国人,美洲原住民,和西班牙裔美国妇女谁是绝育,而他们的知识或同意的医生为公共卫生机构工作,应给予赔偿由美国国会。此外,我的结论是,联邦检察官和美国医学协会应该对涉及的医生和医护人员提出刑事指控和专业制裁。最后,我得出的结论是,医疗专业人员应该在全国范围内努力使黑人和布朗社区的人们与美国的医疗保健社区和解。
In this article, I offer historical, jurisprudential, and moral analyses of racial
eugenics campaigns against African American, Native American, and Hispanic American women. I argue that African American, Native American, and Hispanic American women were sterilized at a time in US history when doctors working for/with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, the Indian Health Service, and Medicaid engaged in forced and coerced sterilizations with impunity. As a result, Black and Brown women did not have equal protection of the laws nor unimpeded access to the courts. Therefore, they had few options for protecting themselves from harm or redressing their grievances against the state. For these reasons, I conclude that African American, Native American, and Hispanic American women who were sterilized without their knowledge or consent by doctors working for public health agencies ought to be awarded reparations by the United States Congress. Additionally, I conclude that federal prosecutors and the American Medical Association ought to bring criminal charges and professional sanctions against the doctors and healthcare workers involved. Finally, I conclude that medical professionals ought to engage in a nationwide effort to reconcile people in Black and Brown communities with the healthcare community in the United States.
