Nazis thought they could treat them as they wished, caused ter-
rible scenes of barbarity for as long as they remained in power.
According to this terrible law put into effect in Germany,
sterilization could be performed without the permission of the
person concerned. A state doctor had the legal right to conduct
forcible sterilization, with police assistance. In his book Into the
Darkness: Nazi Germany Today, the pro-Nazi American Lothrop
Stoddard wrote of his impressions of the eugenic courts during
a visit to Germany. An official from the tuberculosis section of
the public health service headquarters told Stoddard the follow-
ing:
The treatment given a tuberculosis patient is partly determined
by his social worth. If he is a valuable citizen and his case is cur-
able, no expense is spared. If he is adjudged incurable ... no spe-
cial effort is made to prolong slightly an existence which will
benefit neither the community nor himself. Germany can nourish
only a certain amount of human life at a given time. We National
Socialists are in duty bound to foster individuals of social and
biological value. 123
In Islamic moral values, however, people possess an equal
right to treatment, no matter what their material means, rank or
status. To abandon people to die because they have various
physical defects or are not wealthy is clearly murder; and to seek
to implement this in the social sphere constitutes mass murder.
The scope of Nazi Germany's Sterilization Law was
increasingly broadened. On 24 November 1933, it was decreed
that "habitual offenders against public morals" were to be steril-
ized. The Nazis' "racial pollution" theses now included the crime
of opposing public morality. The years that followed would
show that the National Socialists' terrible plans were by no
means limited to sterilization.
