===[[File:Nazi.png]] [[Nazism|Nazi]] Eugenics===
Nazi eugenics refers to the social policies of eugenics in Nazi Germany, beginning with Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring. The racial ideology of Nazism placed the biological improvement of the German people by selective breeding of "Nordic" or "Aryan" traits at its center. 

Those targeted for destruction under Nazi eugenics policies were largely people living in private and state-operated institutions. They included prisoners, degenerates, dissidents, and people with congenital cognitive and physical disabilities- people who were considered to be feeble-minded:

*Epileptic
*Schizophrenic
*Manic-depressive (now known as bipolar)
*Cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy
*Deaf and/or blind
*Homosexual or "transvestites" (intersex and transgender people)
*Anyone else considered to be idle, insane, and/or weak as per "feeblemindedness"

All of these were targeted for elimination from the chain of heredity. This took the form of forced abortion, forced sterilization, or mass murder by lethal injection.
