Euthanizing mentally ill or intellectually disabled individuals is not ethically permissible. Every individual has the right to life and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their mental or physical capabilities. It is important to provide appropriate support, care, and accommodations to enhance their quality of life.
During the Great Depression, individuals with intellectual disabilities, often referred to as "mentally retarded" in historical contexts, faced severe discrimination and neglect. While there is no widespread documentation of systematic killings specifically during this era, many were subjected to poor living conditions, institutionalization, and lack of care, which significantly increased their vulnerability. Additionally, eugenics movements in the early 20th century did advocate for the sterilization and marginalization of people with disabilities, contributing to their suffering during this period.
According to the World Health Organization, the proper term is "mental retardation". However, this is expected to change to in the next revision of the ICD codes to something like "intellectual disability" or "intellectual development disorder" (this is what the DSM already uses).
