Aktion T4: why we must take disability rights very, very seriously. Did you know: Hitler tested the will of the German people (click link) by asking them to hand over disabled relatives to be murdered. They did so, to the tune of 250,000 people and with the help of most of the medical community. Gas chambers were perfected by testing them on us. By determining that the disabled are considered the most disposable (he called us "useless eaters"), he was emboldened to move on slaughtering other groups. Never hesitate to speak up when you meet injustice.~Encyclopedia Britannica
