Cancer. Dr. Maud Slye of Chicago University said that the Mendelian law of heredity applied to cancer susceptibility and cancer resistance developed through 67,000 individual studies on mice. Persistently Pathologist Slye bred the reliable rodents. Twenty years she worked and has finally concluded that cancer is not contagious, but tendencies for or against it can be inherited in mice. Twenty-five generations has she bred absolutely free of cancer because the original stock had been eugenically chosen. Cancerous ancestors infallibly transmitted the disease down the generations infallibly. Said Dr. Slye: "If we could manage human breeding as expertly...
Cancer. Dr. Aldred Scott War-thin of Ann Arbor, Mich., agreed with Dr. Maud Slye of Chicago that the disposition to or resistance to cancer is inheritable. She has performed, during 16 years, 80,000 cancer experiments on mice. The two recommended a central bureau for cancer statistics, agreeing that in three generations (about 90 years) man would have enough cancer data to draw conclusions that would lead to a cure...
Hereditary Cancer. Most authorities hold that cancer or susceptibility to or resistance to the disease is peculiar to each individual, that none of these conditions can be inherited. However Miss Maude Slye of Chicago, who for 18 years has been experimenting on mice with cancer, claimed last week that the ability to resist the disease is inheritable, that she has prevented its appearance in 25 generations of mice, that the American Association for Control of Cancer should be condemned for not warning the public of these facts...
