GREAT ROSH HASHANAH DINNERS

START WITH ALL NATURAL, READY TO SERVE

mon on Aug. 3, 1941, by Bishop Clemens
August von Galen of Muenster, openly
challenged the euthanasia program.
"We must oppose the taking of inno-
cent human life even if it were to cost us
our lives," he argued.

Tactical Change

On Sept. 1, 1941, almost two years
after it began, Germany appeared to
discontinue the operation. In truth, it
was merely driven underground. "Mercy
killings" secretly continued until the
end of the war. Some 200,000 Germans
— who the Nazis termed Aryans, not
Jews — were victims.
While T-4 continued in secret, mass
murder was just beginning. Physicians
trained in the medical killing centers
graduated to bigger tasks. Dr. Irmfried
Eberl, who began his career in the
T-4 program, became the comman-
dant of Treblinka. His colleagues went
on to Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka and
Auschwitz, where killing took on mas-
sive dimensions.
At the Nuremberg doctors' trial of
medical personnel, the judges realized the
need to enunciate ethical principles for
physicians that would prevent them from
ever engaging in such practices. The first
principle articulated the universal right
of individuals to make their own medical
decisions, free from coercion.
"The voluntary consent of the human
subject is absolutely essential," it reads.
Obama's health plan honors that very
principle by entitling the patients to be
reimbursed for consultations with their
physicians to discuss end-of-life issues.
That measure is the essence of humane
and moral medical policy — the antith-
esis of Nazi medicine and Nazi practice.
(We also should consult with clergy to
ensure that decisions are compatible
with both science and faith.)
That is not to say there is no place for
a Nazi analogy in this debate. The Nazis
rose to power by mastering the art of
propaganda, repeating lies so frequently
and so widely that eventually people took
them as truth. Hence the importance of
seeking out the truth and exposing those
who would engage in such deceit.
Freud taught us about projection:
Those who would compare Obama to
Hitler or his policies to Nazism ought to
look in the mirror. 7_,
