Nazi Extermination of People with Mental Disabilities

Q: Witness, when adult persons were selected for euthanasia and sent by transport to euthanasia stations for that purpose, by what methods were the mercy deaths given?
A: The patients went to a euthanasia institution after the written formalities were concluded - I need not repeat these formalities here, they were physical examinations, comparison of the files, etc. The the patients were led to a gas chamber and were there killed by the doctors with carbon monoxide gas (CO).
Q: Where was that carbon monoxide obtained, by what process?
A: It was in a compressed gas container, like a steel oxygen container, such as is used for welding - a hollow steel container.
Q: And these people were placed in this chamber in groups, I suppose, and then the carbon monoxide was turned into the chambers?
A: Perhaps I had better explain this in some detail. Bouhler's basic requirement was that the killing should not only be painless, but also imperceptible. For this reason, the photographing of the patients, which was only done for scientific reasons, took place before they entered the chambers, and the patients were completely diverted thereby. Then they were led into the gas chamber which they were told was a shower room. They were in groups of perhaps 20 or 30. They were gassed by the doctor in charge.

Of course we are all sure it was OK, because everyone knows, that those people wouldn't have wanted to "live like that" anyway. (bitter sarcasm)
"A: Perhaps I had better explain this in some detail. Bouhler's basic requirement was that the killing should not only be painless, but also imperceptible." Even Hitler's minions went for "painless." Schiavo, Greer and Felos, for all their zeal to see this woman dead, are content to no doubt eat their three squares a day while Terri lays there burning inside her own skin. Of course, this may just be a result of their relative inexpericence, and I'm sure that in the future Greer will become much more proficient at putting the helpless to death. It will become a matter of political expedience as he's probably getting too much unwelcome attention as Terri seems to have put up a pretty good fight so far (in spite of her willingness and desire to die, and the euphoria of the process).
