The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

    When death is unavoidable, the goal is to minimize the number of deaths. Taking into account the situation before, during and after can help create the better results.

    If we just free someone without taking into account whether they’ll be able to live afterwards is just patting ourselves on the back. Sure we can say we did the right thing, but without making certain they at least have a starting point, we might just be condemning them to desperation or crime.

          “In general”

          “preferred”

          Still sounds like “kill fewer and fewer Jews until the killing can stop.”

            Actually, by in general, I was thinking about people who live their lives in constant suffering and would like to have the option of a peaceful release.
            Euthanasia is still taking a life, and I would prefer an alternative to that.

            Was writing “in general” not enough to go beyond this particular instance?
