If you ever read the trilogy by Richard Evans, the second book “The Third Reich in Power, 1933 - 1939: How the Nazis Won Over the Hearts and Minds of a Nation” details the T4 program and how totally horrific it was.

It’s too bad that parents are more shamed by seen imperfections than by the true moral failing of murdering the physically imperfect.
