Book Description
This little information booklet is a true story about a young woman who lost a medical malpractice court case. And for the past eight years, she and her family have been desperately seeking justice. They feel that the surgeon who mistakenly removed three healthy organs got off because the medical malpractice laws are designed to uphold doctors who break the oath they promised to uphold. Also, her attorney let her down in the three-day trial. He failed to represent her accordingly, and she has not been able to obtain another attorney who would assist her in bringing this lawyer to justice. Other attorneys have boldly claimed that attorneys just do not sue another attorney. It seems they have made some kind of binding pact to protect each other. Now the victim, always ill after the surgery happened, also wants to warn other would-be victims what to look out for when hiring a physician or an attorney. Plus, she is praying that this book will fall into the hands of some compassionate attorney who will fight along with her to bring this abuse to an end and change some American laws. She knows that there are some honest doctors and lawyers out there who are also willing to maintain their integrity. Not everyone is as greedy for filthy lucre as these professionals, who took advantage of her innocence and abused her for the love of money, are. So the faith that has brought her this far will continue to lead her to the right people who will help.

A Natural History of Rape
Author: Randy Thornhill
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262700832
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
A biologist and an anthropologist use evolutionary biology to explain the causes and inform the prevention of rape. In this controversial book, Randy Thornhill and Craig Palmer use evolutionary biology to explain the causes of rape and to recommend new approaches to its prevention. According to Thornhill and Palmer, evolved adaptation of some sort gives rise to rape; the main evolutionary question is whether rape is an adaptation itself or a by-product of other adaptations. Regardless of the answer, Thornhill and Palmer note, rape circumvents a central feature of women's reproductive strategy: mate choice. This is a primary reason why rape is devastating to its victims, especially young women. Thornhill and Palmer address, and claim to demolish scientifically, many myths about rape bred by social science theory over the past twenty-five years. The popular contention that rapists are not motivated by sexual desire is, they argue, scientifically inaccurate. Although they argue that rape is biological, Thornhill and Palmer do not view it as inevitable. Their recommendations for rape prevention include teaching young males not to rape, punishing rape more severely, and studying the effectiveness of "chemical castration." They also recommend that young women consider the biological causes of rape when making decisions about dress, appearance, and social activities. Rape could cease to exist, they argue, only in a society knowledgeable about its evolutionary causes. The book includes a useful summary of evolutionary theory and a comparison of evolutionary biology's and social science's explanations of human behavior. The authors argue for the greater explanatory power and practical usefulness of evolutionary biology. The book is sure to stir up discussion both on the specific topic of rape and on the larger issues of how we understand and influence human behavior.
