The Palliative Machine: Medical Monopoly under the Corporation-State, by @GreenMedInfo #FDA #Pharma

The Palliative Machine: Medical Monopoly Under the Corporation-State

Direct-to-consumer advertising began in 1981, and really took off in 1995

The American medical system is corrupt, ineffective and unnecessarily costly. These outcomes are due to state violence on behalf of the politically connected elite (namely private insurers, physicians, pharmaceutical and medical device companies). Artificial scarcity, price-gouging, misallocation of research funding and the suppression of alternative (non-patentable) therapies can be ameliorated by revoking state-conferred elite privilege and re-establishing cooperative, mutualized healthcare financing. “

Surrogate Motherhood and the Politics of Reproduction, by Susan Markens, on Flickr

Surrogate Motherhood and the Politics of Reproduction, by Susan Markens, on Flickr

Surrogate Motherhood and the Politics of Reproduction

Susan Markens takes on one of the hottest issues on the fertility front—surrogate motherhood—in a book that illuminates the culture wars that have erupted over new reproductive technologies in the United States.
In an innovative analysis of legislative responses to surrogacy in the bellwether states of New York and California, Markens explores how discourses about gender, family, race, genetics, rights, and choice have shaped policies aimed at this issue. She examines the views of key players, including legislators, women’s organizations, religious groups, the media, and others. In a study that finds surprising ideological agreement among those with opposing views of surrogate motherhood, Markens challenges common assumptions about our responses to reproductive technologies and at the same time offers a fascinating picture of how reproductive politics shape social policy.
