Or the way that the American Psychiatric Association was responsible for the
NAZI death camps... They officially called for euthanasia of incurable
mental patients in the 1920's or thereabouts. The idea was that diseases
such as schizophrenia were in fact genetic and therefore incurable as such,
so you could only put them out of their misery.
The first victims of the German holocaust were those very mental patients.
The German psychiatric association simply followed the American lead. Then
the Jews - and other "lesser races" - were included as they were defined as
a class as simply being another example of a genetic predisposition to a
kind of incurable insanity.
Then, in the 50's and 60's, the American Psychiatric Association, in their
wisdom, benevolence, and amazing sanity, was responsible for carving up tens
of thousands of peoples brains in frontal lobotomies, etc., or subjecting
them to brain damaging drug or electroshock.
Later, their institutions became the means of convenience for tens of
thousands of people to rid themselves of aging relatives and collect all
those inheritances before they were too old to enjoy them.
Bottom line: If I were to try to increase my credibility, I don't think I
would quote the American Psychaitric Association.
