eu·tha·na·sia
Pronunciation:\ˌyü-thə-ˈnā-zh(ē-)ə\
Function:noun
Etymology:Greek, easy death, from euthanatos, from eu- + thanatos death — more at thanatos
Date:1869
: the act or practice of killing or permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured individuals (as persons or domestic animals) in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy
The Holocaust was Euthanasia gone wild. And yes I am comparing one with the other. The Holocaust didn't start with 6 million deaths, it started with one death and an attitude change. From Hitlers point of veiw, "euthanised" all those poor people for the "greater good" of society. Hitler did not start with the Jews, he started with the old, infirm, retarded, homosexuals, and gypsies. In other words people who did not either fit into the German economy, (because after all it was socialisum, and could not possibly take care of all those people economically.) Or the object of his hatred. i.e. the Jews. Euthanasia is just a fancy word for Mercy Kill and it is a short leap from one group of people to the other, especially in bad economic times when one group of people seem to have it better than another group of people and you can some how place blame.
