Excerpt from A Discussion of the General Principles Involved in the Operation of Removal of the Uterine Appendages
One well-known leader-writer upon this subject in the most prominent medical journal of our country told us that all opera tions must have their nomenclature decided by their anatomical relations alone, and that no kind of intention on the part of the operator or method of his, and no kind of motive on which the operation was based, could in the least degree influence the name by which it was to be called. But the moment it was pointed out that, if I am to be called a spayer because I remove the uterine appendages, then an obstetric physician - my friend, for example, Dr. John Williams - must be called an abortion monger, be cause he occasionally induces premature labor. The offensive in correctness of the word spaying was in. This way easily settled, and I hope we have heard the last of it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. 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.
