Bump for later.

Most of those advocating the murder of the "useless mouths" considered themselves to be applying a rational, "scientific" solution to the issue of dealing with the handicapped.

Well, let's be rational here. They weren't actively promoting genocide...they were just preserving freedom of choice for the fully-able segment of German society. They probably wanted euthanasia to be safe, legal, and rare. And who's to call that wrong? After all, the Final Solution was considered "settled law" at the time.

...ugh...maintaining that degree of sarcasm pains me. Sarcasm OFF!!! [/sarcasm]

So they rationalized the killing of millions of innocent humans by defining them as sub-human. Damn those pro-choice murderers. Oh wait, the Nazis did that too?

The Nazis HAD been killing people by loading them into trucks which had their exhaust systems diverted into them.

The regime decided that killing people only a dozen or so at a time was too slow, and not nearly efficient enough.

Several ways were devised for mass-murder.
