Document Summary

Criticism of the justice system leading from 1922 act eugenics movement. Wdw365 s. 237 registers homicide, criminal responsibility, but in relation to a murder conviction, it is strongly mitigated with a maximum of 5 years (raised from 3) Infanticidal woman is not disturbed in the same way that would allow her to plead insanity; her insanity arises from the stresses of child-birth and of exhaustion from lactation. Argument: singles out women as capable of getting this mitigation, unlike fathers who may do the same thing. Links that mitigation specifically to the idea that normal physiological processes (lactation, childbirth) cause women to become mentally unsound. Criticized as the most clear-cut example in law of the medicalization of women"s deviance. Insanity needed in order to understand why women are deviant; like they are incapable. Women"s reproductive bodies feed to the idea that they are more emotionally unstable, less rational than men.

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is the enzyme responsible for converting ethanol to acetaldehyde (reaction below). It is the enzyme responsible for the metabolism of ethanol in the alcoholic beverages we consume. ADH has a broad substrate specificity and can also oxidize methanol (wood alcohol) and ethylene alcohol (antifreeze). The poisonous nature of these compounds results from the ADH-catalyzed conversion of these compounds to toxic products. For example, ADH converts methanol to formaldehyde, which is toxic to the optic nerve and can produce blindness.

Certain individuals are more sensitive to alcohol than others. For example, women are more sensitive to alcohol than men, women generally become more intoxicated than men after consuming the same amount of alcohol. Using MichaelisâMenten kinetics equation, give biochemical reasons that would explain why women become more intoxicated than men when consuming an equal amount of alcohol.

2. Critics of the above theory demand: show me the physiological evidence. Evolutionary theory is rooted in biology hence there must be physical evidence to substantiate a claim. Feminist evolutionary psychologists say: It's not men who want sleep around, in fact, it is women who are hard-wired to want to take on as many mates as possible. This is why society has spent so much energy trying to regulate female sexuality. What is the evidence? One: only maternity is 100%. Everyone knows for certain the identity of their mother, yet before the recent advent of testing, paternity was never 100%. In a communal living situation, all the men in the tribe would have to provide for a child because the possibility could be that child was their own. Two: women are multi-orgasmic, while men only have one orgasm and then their brain releases a chemical which causes them to fall asleep. As many know, women become active post-coitus. They want to talk and cuddle, while men want to nap. The suggestion here is that while men are sleeping it off on the bear skin rug, the women go to the next tent and have sex again with someone else. Finally, women have an organ designed specifically for sexual pleasure: the clitoris. Men do not have such an organ. The existence of the clitoris is a strong physiological indicator that supports the above assertion. How can you explain the existence of the clitoris?
