Once the door was open to mass murder under the guise of “euthanasia,” it was but another step in the progression to expand the interpretation of “dead weight characters” and “life unworthy of living” to include an entire race of people.

They appear in the roles of leaders of revolutions, founders of political parties ... and they make themselves and others unhappy. The incubation phase of the disease is long, often reaching back to childhood.”

However, it goes beyond what was done to reveal why and how it could happen.
