Eugenics: The Evil of National Socialism

Eugenics was a staple in Nazi Germany. Positive and negative. Negative is the active killing of those you don’t think deserve to live, positive is sterilization before conception, basically.) Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s Deputy Fuhrer once said, “National Socialism is nothing but applied biology”. Before the Nazi’s came to power, German intellectuals were among the world’s leaders of eugenics research. Two German doctors, Dr. Alfred Hoche and Dr. Karl Binding, published a book called, “The Permission to Destroy Life Unworthy of Life” in 1920. It called for the destroying of so-called “worthless” human beings for the protection of “worthy” human beings. German Dr. Ernst Rudin was the president of the International Federation of Eugenics Organizations. The “worthless” were the mentally and physically disabled.
Concentration camps were the invention of another group of German doctors who wrote the book, “The Principles of Human Heredity and Racial Hygiene.” Their ideas was to imprison non Germans’s and mixed races. We know where THAT went.
I don’t know why I started writing this blog, except I am watching a movie about it, and I get inspired. Bottom line is, the Nazi Socialists, and any other group or person is disgusting for what their intentions are, no matter how “WELL-MEANING” they are or were. No human has the stature or high place to assess another human’s worth. Trouble is, the world is drawing closer and closer to it, if we don’t stop it. Eugenics did not leave with the Nazi’s. It’s alive and well, even in the USA.
