![]() The lab Angelo used, if you can call it that, is an Internet site that farmed out the actual testing and then wrote horribly untrue things under the guise of “analysis.” It mentioned rat poison as a possible cause and claimed to be able to say that a third party murdered my beloved daughter. I am also told one lab may give different results than another lab in terms of heavy metals, and the proper method requires multiple tests before any results are released. In light of the recent publicity about a lab test Angelo had done, I have asked some knowledgeable people, and they tell me that an analysis from a sample of hair is not considered dependable unless it is backed up by tests of tissue and blood and other analysis - which he did not do (the coroner did, but they show no similar results). In the piece, she accused Brittany’s father, Angelo Bertolotti, of attempting to profit off Brittany’s name by touting the unproven theory that Brittany may have been poisoned. She explained her reasoning in an op-ed in the Hollywood Reporter in 2013. Sharon Murphy does not believe her daughter, Brittany, could have been murdered.

In a statement to E! News, Murphy insisted that when she said “her side of the bed,” she was referring to her daughter rather than herself. TMZ, citing the Los Angeles County report, reported in 2010 that when going through the master bedroom with investigators, Sharon Murphy had referred to one side of the bed as “her side of the bed.” The website also claimed there were prescription bottles in the room with the names “Sharon Murphy” and “Sharon Monjack.” TMZ added that the report “doesn’t suggest sexual contact between the two.”īut Sharon Murphy said she was misunderstood. The autopsy report into Monjack’s death sparked speculation about whether the screenwriter had shared a bed with his mother-in-law, Sharon Murphy, after Brittany died. The coroner’s office ruled he had died in the same manner as his late wife, which was a result of acute pneumonia and severe anemia.

![]() ![]() Main article: History of eugenics Origin and development Francis Galton, an early eugenicist, coined the term itself. Yet another criticism of contemporary eugenics policies is that they propose to permanently and artificially disrupt millions of years of human evolution, and that attempting to create genetic lines "clean" of "disorders" can have far-reaching ancillary downstream effects in the genetic ecology, including negative effects on immunity and on species resilience. Another criticism is that eugenics policies eventually lead to a loss of genetic diversity, thereby resulting in inbreeding depression due to a loss of genetic variation. Furthermore, many criticize negative eugenics in particular as a violation of basic human rights, seen since 1968's Proclamation of Tehran, as including the right to reproduce. Since the 1980s and 1990s, with new assisted reproductive technology procedures available, such as gestational surrogacy (available since 1985), preimplantation genetic diagnosis (available since 1989), and cytoplasmic transfer (first performed in 1996), concern has grown about the possible revival of a more potent form of eugenics after decades of promoting human rights.Ī criticism of eugenics policies is that, regardless of whether negative or positive policies are used, they are susceptible to abuse because the genetic selection criteria are determined by whichever group has political power at the time. In the decades following World War II, with more emphasis on human rights, many countries began to abandon eugenics policies, although some Western countries (the United States, Canada, and Sweden among them) continued to carry out forced sterilizations. The eugenics movement became associated with Nazi Germany and the Holocaust when the defense of many of the defendants at the Nuremberg trials of 1945 to 1946 attempted to justify their human-rights abuses by claiming there was little difference between the Nazi eugenics programs and the U.S. Those deemed "unfit to reproduce" often included people with mental or physical disabilities, people who scored in the low ranges on different IQ tests, criminals and "deviants", and members of disfavored minority groups. Such programs included both positive measures, such as encouraging individuals deemed particularly "fit" to reproduce, and negative measures, such as marriage prohibitions and forced sterilization of people deemed unfit for reproduction. Consequently, many countries adopted eugenic policies, intended to improve the quality of their populations' genetic stock. In this period, people from across the political spectrum espoused eugenic ideas. While eugenic principles have been practiced as early as ancient Greece, the contemporary history of eugenics began in the late 19th century, when a popular eugenics movement emerged in the United Kingdom, and then spread to many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and most European countries. ![]() Modern bioethicists who advocate new eugenics characterize it as a way of enhancing individual traits, regardless of group membership. In contemporary usage, the term eugenics is closely associated with scientific racism. Early advocates of eugenics in the 19th century regarded it as a way of improving groups of people. The concept predates the term Plato suggested applying the principles of selective breeding to humans around 400 BC. In recent years, the term has seen a revival in bioethical discussions on the usage of new technologies such as CRISPR and genetic screening, with heated debate around whether these technologies should be considered eugenics or not. Historically, eugenicists have attempted to alter human gene pools by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior or promoting those judged to be superior. Eugenics ( / j uː ˈ dʒ ɛ n ɪ k s/ yoo- JEN-iks from Ancient Greek εύ̃ (eû) 'good, well', and -γενής (genḗs) 'come into being, growing') is a set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population. |
