Race-based medicine, an emerging field in pharmacology, aims to create a specialty market based on racial groups. Within this market, the drug BiDil set a precedent in this area of medicine targeting African Americans as its first racial group. Consequently, selecting African Americans as a “starter group” led to ethical questions regarding the motive behind race-based medicine within the context of the larger treatment of blacks in American medical history. This book therefore links medicine and American eugenics, examines race-based medicine’s influence on the perception of the black body, traces the influence of BiDil’s approval on the resurgence of race-based medicine, and assesses the black church’s response to race-based medicine using black liberation theology as a means to social justice. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | race-based medicine; eugenics; biblical criticism; black hardiness; Black Church; racial fatalism; medical | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-13-2992-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-981-13-4812-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-981-13-2992-0 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019 |
