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.
Great three book set. Highly recommended for the WWII history buff looking for an all sides of the coin explanation of the Third Reich.

Josef Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) had a mentally handicapped younger cousin who was picked up in a Nazi sweep through the area and killed in one of the genocide centers. This was recounted by Ratzinger and his brother George in explaining one reason why his whole family was opposed to Nazism. The Bavarians (at any rate) saw this as nothing but murder.
The British had participated in the euthanasia of the mentally handicapped in about the same period. I'm thinking many of them saw this as a minor thing in the larger scheme of things.
The barbarism of "advanced" societies.
