Another interesting aspect:
The lead role in Hitler’s eugenics was by physicians and the medical profession. It was a ‘national health issue.’
The largest group of professionals, by percentage, who were Nazi Party members were doctors.
Good information on T4 and the point of the medical profession.
I listed one before, but these two films gave me the best understanding of the core of Nazism - and I’ve read a very great deal about it over the years. These films very well done and most people are unaware of a great deal of this history.

Bless you and your son!
I have 4 kids. One has Asperger’s and one has developmental delays. They are wonderful people and my life has been so wonderful getting to parent them.
There are no genetically perfect people.
If a “gay gene” is ever discovered will it be ok to abort pre-gay babies if you don’t want a gay kid?
Such physicians think of medicine as a kind of procrustean bed. If the case doesn’t fit, lop off a foot. Medical science is not an exact science: it can only expedite natural outcomes.
Science agreeing with Hitler’s agenda and practice cannot be a good thing methinks.
Along with:

They all had birth/gene defects and therefore were not the “perfection” todays eugenicists want.
Nancy would have aborted them all.
This desire for “perfect “people! Fact is that Hitler’s ideas were consistent which much of elite thinking of his time. Only his militarism and thuggery were “out of line,”
Yup.
Only a liberal could say you improve a child’s chance by aborting him or her.
Good point. The Democrats are so pro-abortion they won’t stop abortions because the child is an unwanted gender, primarily female. So why deny the right to abort homosexually inclined children, who are at a higher risk of mental illness and contracting fatal sexually transmitted diseases?
