So many physicians, scientists cooperated with Nazism

Why the globalists’ obsession with assisted suicide, abortion and warfare?

PROFESSOR RICHARD WEIKART:

“The ideology of Hitler and many of his closest associates was heavily influenced by Social Darwinism, eugenics and euthanasia … [The] Darwinian devaluing of human life may help explain why so many physicians, scientists and [others] cooperated with [Nazism] …”

In the second half of the nineteenth century, Darwinism “altered many people's conceptions of the importance and value of human life … Leaders of the eugenics movement … emphasized that their views were established on Darwinian foundations …

“‘By giving up the conception of the divine image of humans … human life became a piece of property, which — in contrast to the idea of a natural right to life — could be weighed against other pieces of property’ …

“Because of their concern for the collective good … many Darwinists criticized Christianity and humanitarianism for what they considered its excessive concern for the individual …

“[Death] was no longer an enemy … but a force for progress …

“[Dr Carl Vogt wrote]: ‘If it is a capital offense in the civilized world to kill one's old lame father, there are Indian tribes in which this is considered an entirely praiseworthy deed of a son’ …”

“German eugenicists explicitly founded their ideas on a Darwinian base, and their concern with heredity, coupled with a strong sense of biological inequality, produced a world view in which human life was measured in terms of its physical and mental health, or even abilities and talents contributing to economic productivity …

...

“[A] significant number of [Darwinists and eugenicists] … advocated active measures to eliminate those deemed inferior … [including] infanticide, abortion and euthanasia …

“[Prof Ernst Haeckel] argued that newborn infants were still in an evolutionary stage equivalent to our animal ancestors; thus killing them was no different than killing other animals … [He] used similar arguments to justify abortion …

“Haeckel vigorously opposed the idea that humans have a soul or immortality, so for him suicide was also not immoral … Haeckel also explicitly advocated assisted suicide …

“He complained that many mentally and some physically ill people are burdens to society.

“We could spare ourselves much pain and money by just giving them a shot of morphine …”

“[Ludwig Gumplowicz, a Jewish Darwinist wrote]: ‘… [To] make space for healthy people filled with zeal for life is … a good deed, for there are not too few people on the earth — rather too many’ …

“Most of the leading abortion advocates … were avid Darwinian materialists who saw abortion … as an opportunity to improve the conditions of women … [and] … improve the human race …”
