A Discussion of the General Principles Involved in the Operation of Removal of the Uterine Appendages - Softcover
Synopsis
This book enters a debate about the removal of a woman's reproductive organs, using the medical approach of the time period as philosophical justification to argue for the moral and ethical legitimacy of the practice. The author, an esteemed surgeon, decries the opposition's use of alternative terms like "spaying" or "castration" due to their deeply offensive nature, and instead argues for widespread adoption of the term "removal of the uterine appendages." Many of the book's chapters address specific arguments raised by detractors of the procedure, including the common argument that it is a means for the surgeon to increase their reputation and wealth. The author includes several case studies which conclude that the procedure was successful and should be more widely available. Ultimately, this book provides an unflinching look at a controversial medical practice and provides a compelling argument for its use to treat a variety of conditions.
