I just now lost my father in law to cancer, so yes I share the same humane opinion expressed by many in previous posts. Independent organisation & (if possible) regulator would get my approval.

Hey Maka, I sensed that your rhetoric was along those lines and I fully understand the position you are coming from. You have certainly raised a thought-provoking narrative.

Overall, I think that there are so many social, economic and cultural differences between Australia of today and the Germany of ~80 years ago that a truly objective comparison between the two societies is an impossibility by it's very nature. The only reason the T4 Program could be initiated was due to the autocratic nature of the German government in that day and age. I find it hard to even imagine a similar operation being propagated by any modern democratic nation.

I'm sorry for your loss. All the best to you and your family.
