Disability history and Eugenics are certainly not taught in virtually all secondary schools. When I teach bioethics more than a few students are shocked by what I have hime read. All question why was I never exposed to this history.william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-2504659692050382016-07-29T02:36:51.199-07:002016-07-29T02:36:51.199-07:00Powerful stuff.

Lest we forget, the Nazi regime used disabled people as guinea pigs for the Holocaust. We were the first group to be gassed in mobile units under the Aktion T4 programme. Hundreds of thousands died, mainly ppl with learning difficulties who were incarcerated in institutions like the one in Japan. There are dreadful historical parallels. And the narrative of eugenics and euthenasia lives on.grrrrrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894690890008615073noreply@blogger.com
