Consanguineous Marriages: Their Effect Upon Offspring (Classic Reprint)
Author: Charles F. Withington
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781397321411
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
Excerpt from Consanguineous Marriages: Their Effect Upon Offspring Now this statement is very explicit, to the effect that be sides the ordinary laws of inheritance which may affect offspring for good or for bad, there is in marriages of rela tions a specific degenerative influence, due to the mere fact of non-renewal of the blood. If this be true, it follows that the operation of this influence Will be equally potent and baneful when the persons united are healthy as when they are diseased. And there should be discoverable among the offspring of such unions a conspicuous deterioration, out of all proportion to those other hereditary influences whose potency is so well established. Indeed it is difficult to see why, if this supposition be true, we should not find some evidence of degeneration present as the rule in all the per sons born from marriages of relations, inasmuch as in all these cases by the hypothesis this specific cause of degenera tion is present. Whether this is the fact, has been made the subject of inquiry by many investigators, but with results so utterly diverse as to leave the student more bewildered than ever, and to suggest that in no field of investigation has the statistical method more pronounced limitations than in this. In a paper like the present we can only allude in the brief est manner to some of the most important collection of cases illustrating the opposite views on this question.

The Impact of the Family
Author: John Witte
Publisher: Evangelische Verlagsanstalt
ISBN: 3374070531
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The family is humanity's oldest and most basic social institution, but today it is fragile, fractured, and fraught in many liberal lands. This volume gathers scholars from sociology, psychology, history, religion, ethics, law, and medicine from five continents to analyze the complex nature and place of the family in character formation and human flourishing. The chapters study the impact of catechesis, schooling, work, and discipline on the development of individual moral agency and responsibility. They document the critical roles of family love, trust, fidelity, and story-telling in shaping the moral character of all family members from infancy to old age. They describe effective strategies of resistance and resilience for family members who face abuse, divorce, death, chauvinism, racism, and homophobia. And several chapters challenge modern arguments and policies that aim to flatten if not abolish the marital family, even while they call for family law reforms. Contributions by Enola G. Aird, Helen Alvaré, Robert N. Bellah, Margaret Jane Brining, Michael J. Broyde, Marcia Bunge, Stephen Carter, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Robyn Fivuush, Patrick Hornbeck, Andreas Kruse, Nadia Marais, Gordon Mikoski, Bonnie Miller-McLemore, Patrick Parkinson, Katja Patzel-Mattern, Sabina Pauen, Stephen G. Post, Eugene C. Roehlkepartain, and Thomas Xutong Qu.

Advances in the Study of Genetic Disorders
Author: Kenji Ikehara
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 9533073055
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
The studies on genetic disorders have been rapidly advancing in recent years as to be able to understand the reasons why genetic disorders are caused. The first Section of this volume provides readers with background and several methodologies for understanding genetic disorders. Genetic defects, diagnoses and treatments of the respective unifactorial and multifactorial genetic disorders are reviewed in the second and third Sections. Certainly, it is quite difficult or almost impossible to cure a genetic disorder fundamentally at the present time. However, our knowledge of genetic functions has rapidly accumulated since the double-stranded structure of DNA was discovered by Watson and Crick in 1956. Therefore, nowadays it is possible to understand the reasons why genetic disorders are caused. It is probable that the knowledge of genetic disorders described in this book will lead to the discovery of an epoch of new medical treatment and relieve human beings from the genetic disorders of the future.

Tropical Pathology
Author: W. Doerr
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540576730
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1428
Book Description
The continuous and rapid improvement of tourism around the whole world and the increasing emigration of peoples from the developing countries to the "old continents" have changed the classical image of tropical diseases, which are now seen more frequently in temperate and highly developed countries. Consequently, over 10 years after its first publication, this second edition of the pathology of tropical diseases has been restructured and expanded to reflect the recent developments and changes in diagnostic techniques. A total of 27 chapters - written by 29 reputed experts from 11 countries - cover such new aspects as technological developments in diagnosing infectious diseases, autopsies in the tropics, renal diseases, geomedicine and genetic disorders. A concentrated and up-to-date review of the field.

The Economics of Civil and Common Law
Author: Zagros Madjd-Sadjadi
Publisher: Business Expert Press
ISBN: 1606495852
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Law is supposed to encourage innovation, morality, and conformity with societal expectations, yet it may provides perverse incentives causing individuals, or even the State, to act in discordant, inefficient, and even immoral ways. This book will explore the inefficiencies that are created that serve to deny individuals work and shelter in a haphazard and capricious manner. The author examines property rights, including eminent domain, that lets the State take property away with seemingly arbitrary compensation to the owner. Individuals must understand both civil law, codified by statutes, and common law, enshrined in precedential judicial decisions. This book is written for economists and non-economists and has an extensive glossary of economic, political and legal terms. Two items that are not formally treated in other economics of law textbooks are the legal organization of businesses and tax law from an economics perspective.
