MOTHER WANTS TO EUTHANIZE ‘SEVERELY DISABLED’ CHILDREN — AND ‘90%’ OF DR. PHIL’S AUDIENCE AGREES

Should severely disabled children be euthanized? Why or why not?

Nazi Euthanasia

On August 3, 1941, a Catholic Bishop, Clemens von Galen, delivered a sermon attacking the Nazi euthanasia program calling it "plain murder." The sermon urged German Catholics to "withdraw ourselves and our faithful from their (Nazi) influence so that we may not be contaminated by their thinking and their ungodly behavior."

The Nazis retaliated against the Bishop by beheading three parish priests who had distributed his sermon, but left the Bishop unharmed to avoid making him into a martyr.
