Eugenics - Pseudoscience.
While the science of genetics has increasingly provided means by which certain characteristics and conditions can be identified and understood, given the complexity of human genetics and culture, there is agreed objective means of determining which characteristics might be ultimately desireable or undesireable. If eugenicists claim that this can be determined by empirical investigation, they are vulnerable to the charge that their views amount to a pseudoscience, a term that refers to any field that isn't scientific but is s ...

| | | | | extermination: Encyclopedia II - Belz Hasidic dynasty - The Belz World Center In the 1980s, Rabbi Yissachar Dov spearheaded plans for a huge synagogue to be erected in the Kiryat Belz section of Jerusalem. The building, which would have four entrances accessible to each of the four streets of the hilly neighborhood, would be an enlarged replica of the structure that the first Rebbe of Belz, the Sar Shalom, had built in the town of Belz. It would include a grandiose main sanctuary, smaller study halls, wedding and Bar Mitzvah halls, libraries, and other communal facilities.
Funds for this ambitious project were raised among Belzer Hasidim and were supplemented by ...

Like other Hasidic groups, the Belz community has established a variety of self-help organizations, including one of the largest patient-advocacy organizations of its kind, a free medical counseling center, and an affordable ...

| | | | | extermination: Encyclopedia II - Belz Hasidic dynasty - History The founder of the dynasty was Rabbi Shalom of Belz, also known as the Sar Shalom, who was inducted as rabbi of Belz in 1817. A great Torah scholar and legendary miracle worker, Rabbi Shalom personally helped build the city's large and imposing synagogue. Dedicated in 1843, the building resembled an ancient fortress, with three-foot thick walls, a castellated roof and battlements adorned with gilded copper balls. It could seat 5000 worshippers and had superb acoustics. It stood until the Nazis invaded Belz in late 1939. Though the Ger ...

| | | | | extermination: Encyclopedia II - Eugenics - Eugenics in popular culture Eugenics is a recurrent theme in science fiction (often dystopian) - the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley explores the theme in depth, as does the more recent (and up-to-date on the science) movie Gattaca, whose plot turns around genetic testing. Boris Vian (under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan) takes a more light-hearted approach in his novel Et on tuera tous les affreux.
Other novels touching upon the subject include The Gate to Women's Country by Sheri S. Tepper and That Hideous Strength by C ...

| | | | | extermination: Encyclopedia II - Mental Health Act 1983 - History The Lunacy Act 1890 gave mental hospitals or “asylums” the power to detain “lunatics, idiots and persons of unsound mind.” The Mental Deficiency Act 1913 increased these powers, establishing a Board of Control to monitor asylums. These laws were superseded after World War II by the Mental Health Act 1959.
This Act aimed to provide informal treatment for the majority of persons suffering from mental disorder, but to provide a legal framework such that such persons could, if necessary, be detained in hospital against their wishe ...

| | | | | extermination: Encyclopedia II - Mental Health Act 1983 - Shortcomings The main thrust of the Act provides power to detain persons in hospital, ultimately to treat their mental disorder. However, there is no scope for compulsory treatment in the community of mentally disordered persons. The psychiatric profession in the United Kingdom is split over whether future legislation should allow for such treatment (Crawford et al, 2000). Service user groups are overwhelmingly opposed to such legislation in the future (Mind, 2004), although a 2004 survey of mental health service users (patients) in London found t ...

| | | | | extermination: Encyclopedia II - Mental Health Act 1983 - Physical illness The Mental Health Act 1983 provides the legal framework for the assessment and/or treatment of mental disorders. It does not provide for the assessment or treatment of physical illness. There has been substantial case law to confirm this interpretation. Thus, a person who has, say, schizophrenia, as well as, say, kidney failure requiring dialysis, but who is refusing that treatment, cannot be dialysed against his or her wishes under the Mental Health Act 1983. This stands even if it is symptoms of schizophrenia inform the person’s wishes a ...

| | | | | extermination: Encyclopedia II - Mental Health Act 1983 - Definition of mental disorder The term “mental disorder” is very loosely defined under the Act, in contrast to mental health legislation in other countries such as Australia and Canada. Under the Act, mental disorder means “mental illness, arrested or incomplete development of mind, psychopathic disorder and any other disorder or disability of mind.” To many observers, this represents a meaningless circular definition or tautology. There are, however, four distinct subcategories of mental disorder stipulated in Section 1 of the Act. These are mental illness ...
