Hitler did not start out exterminating the Jews. Perhaps you were unaware?
He first, so quietly we hadn't a clue - after all, look how many years AFTER he WAS exterminating Jews before we knew or admitted it!
Before that, he systematically put to death the handicapped, the metnally ill, the seriously ill...they were imperfect and a drag on society.
From there, it was easier to escalate into killing the undesirable - He swore to kill ALL Poles (to get the land) all gypsies, homosexuals and Jews...and anyone who went against him. (Once you start killing, killing gets easier...)
But it started with killing the handicapped...Step 1 is followed by step 2 - 3-4 etc
We who know history, know the patterns. We want to stop this at step 1 - and Terri is hardly the first one. There have been many - Terri's is just the second case that gained widespread publicity because of the court fight by the families
"George Santayana, a notable philosopher, coined the phrase, "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
Hitler had a grand plan that included the extermination of the Jewish race. He spelled that out for all to see although few listened.What happened here to Terri was a grotesque aberration in the law enabled by a compromised "husband" and a suspect judge. This was not a part of a grand scheme. More an evil aberration allowed by a legal loophole that we must prevent in the future.
Sick and evil yes. Nazi Germany no.
