Abstract
In Reply.— Both Bongiovanni and Callie refer to Nazi Germany as a warning against abandoning the sanctity-of-life view. This appeal to the slippery slope argument is a gross oversimplification of the differences between our society and Hitler's Germany. Alexander, on whom Bongiovanni relies, neglects the importance of Nazi racism and of the fact that the Nazi euthanasia program was not intended for the benefit of the patients—it was conducted secretly, relatives were deceived about what happened, and privileged groups such as veterans were exempted from it.
