Nazismo, eugenetica e disabilità
Alain Goussot
This article describes the «normal inhumanity» of scientific rationality before and during Nazism; analyses the widespread
cultural nature of the eugenic approach and its continuity with the «scientific» practices of the Nazi doctors in eliminating the disabled, mentally ill persons, gypsies and Jews. Lastly, the article analyses in detail the rational process of exterminating disabled individuals and raises questions concerning the contemporary nature of eugenics.
