Alabama's Emergency Operations Plan for mechanical ventilator triage be very very Nazi...

[Soph0571]

'Alabama is poised to make life-and-death decisions that will deny needed medical treatment to countless individuals based entirely on their underlying disabilities

'The mere fact that a person has an intellectual or cognitive disability cannot be a basis for denying care or making that person a lower priority to receive treatment.

'In this time of crisis, we cannot devalue the lives of others in our community based on their disabilities. It's morally wrong, and it violates the law' James Tucker, Director of the Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program

This is as unsurprising as it is disgusting. But in line with killing of granny and grandpa and denying female agency this makes a far right kind of sense for a patriarchal theocratic cult that they own all bodies, and they can dispose of them as they will.

How did the Nazis see disabled people?
The Nazis took Darwin's ideas of natural selection, in particular the idea of survival of the fittest in the animal kingdom, and applied them to the human world and society (Darwin's Origin of the Species had been published in 1859). It was argued that allowing disabled people to live and have children, led to the "unfit" reproducing more quickly than "the fit". It was said that this weakened society's ability to function efficiently, placing an unnecessary toll on non-disabled people.

No matter if the fetus will probably die in the uterus of natural causes

Yeah, that’s pretty clearly some Nazi shit.

6. Too many categories going on there

Mental disability is a broad brush that includes categories such as Down syndrome, which should never be a reason to deny treatment, and also glioblastoma, which is its own death sentence and probably good reason to withhold Covid treatment.
