Under the Euthanasia Program of Nazi Germany, more than 200,000 psychiatric patients were killed by doctors in psychiatric institutions. After summarising the historical facts and the slow and still going-on process of illuminating and understanding what happened, some ethical consequences are drawn. What can we learn from history? The following aspects are addressed: the special situation of psychiatry in times of war, bioethics and biopolitics, the responsibility of the psychiatrist for the individual patient, the effects of hierarchy on personal conscience and responsibility, the unethical "curable-uncurable" distinction and the atrocious concept that persons differ in their value.
在纳粹德国的安乐死计划下，超过 20 万名精神病人被精神病院的医生杀害。在总结历史事实和缓慢但仍在进行的揭示和理解所发生事情的过程之后，得出了一些伦理后果。我们能从历史中学到什么？以下方面得到了探讨：战争时期精神病学的特殊情况、生命伦理学和生物政治学、精神科医生对个体病人的责任、等级制度对个人良知和责任的影响、不道德的“可治愈-不可治愈”区分以及人员在价值上存在差异的恶劣概念。
